Signal collab, right?

Proton could potentially use the Signal protocol to save on development costs.

Having a contact app that integrates with mail and chat would be great as well.

An instant chat, voip and video calling app is what this community is missing.

It is also our responsibility to push our circles towards these services with a focus on privacy and security. And a substitute to WSP is always a good tool for change.

IT'S IN EVERYONE'S BEST INTEREST! This can only be achieved little by little, with every little grain of sand that each of us contributes.

LET'S GO!

A privacy based messaging app is required from Proton, similar to whatsapp though better in terms of privacy. ProtonChat, an instant messaging & voice-over-IP (VoIP) service owned by Proton AG only. It must allows users to send text, voice messages and video messages make voice and video calls, and share images, documents, user locations (user consent required). Rest you people are more intelligent and will figure out yourself what i wanna convey. Good day. Adios.

Thing is, you´ll never get your friends / family members to use it. So it´s pretty useless. Same with signal and Co.

Imo Proton shouldnt waste resources on something which nobody will use anyway.

looking forward to proton chat

¿Qué tan seguro puede ser? <a href=https://modpuro.com/>apk modpuro</a>?

signal do good job but if proton ever to come up with a messaging service make sure it can talk to services like signal where e2ee is by default

All the essential things: Vault, Drive, Email, and we need Messaging too.
And even better, add some VoIP along with the messaging app.

There are a lot of people I know who don't want to do the work to switch email apps, but if there is a secure messaging app included, that would be a huge selling point for them.

Update? Please build a chat/messenger. It's an easy way to people to try it or switch if it's part of the email account and it's own app.

I'm done with Signal. Don't trust them anymore. Plus it's hard to encourage others to try it.

Concentrate on making the VPN TV friendly with kill switch and auto connect feature, I've had my IP exposed a few times thinking it's connected for it to disconnect, don't get too far ahead of yourselves, this isn't needed in my opinion.

Keep up the good work 👍🏻.

Well in stead of developing your own chat, why not purchase or merge with Signal or the other Swiss privacy company Threema?

Dear Proton,

Please *do not* create another chat app. We don't need more fragmentation in that space. If you want to support encrypted chats, throw your weight behind Signal. Promote them, donate to them, contribute to their code, maybe there's a way to integrate Signal (the actual app and platform, not just the protocol) into Proton apps, I don't know. But please don't create yet another chat app. We need privacy and *interoperability* in chat apps, not another silo.

And to be honest, I worry that you're overextending yourselves. Some parts of Proton's existing apps need a good deal of polish in UI and UX compared to other apps on the market. Focus on making your own apps amazing, not trying to get into the saturated field of chat apps.

Thanks.

No thank you. Host a server for another app. Simplex?

As many other people pointed out, please don't create yet another chatting app.
User base is key, and also the development would be slow.

Instead, create a Proton Matrix chat or contribute and promote another already existing open source app like Signal.

Please work on bringing the various secure chats together rather than creating Yet Another Chat Program with a small userbase. Communication programs are nearly useless without large user bases. Chatting with my three friends who I cajoled into using ProtonChat is OK, having significant number of my contacts frictionlessly find that our communication is now secure is much more valuable. Integrate with Signal and other messaging services to expand the userbase rather than a Secret Service type secure chat with a few thousand users. RCS, Appletalk, Whatsapp, Signal, Threema, Very little of my traffic is secure, because everyone is set on their current app.

I would prefer Proton to just create their own Matrix client and help work on the Matrix protocol, rather than reinvent the wheel.

I like the name "Proton Chat". If you build this app, please keep the interface separate from Proton Mail for simplicity.

I want a partnership between Proton and Threema.
The pride of our little big country.
