4. Web site source code verification to mitigate compromised code

   I want to propose having web site source code verification. This would mitigate malicious code being service by the user web interface at proton[.]me. There are several tools, most famous being Meta's open source 'Code Verify' that uses published hashes.

   It's no secret that Proton's web interface is a weak point for password compromise - such as via a court order. My proposal would require Proton, or a trusted entity, posting the hashes of known good Proton.me interface web site code. By allowing Proton users to verify the web site code they are being served, this reduces the risk of their password being at risk.

5. Create a matrix client and homeserver

   Something i've noticed that proton is very good at is making sleek and smoothly working designs -- as such, for the purposes of providing a secure direct messaging app i think it would be optimal to have a proton hosted home-server, and also, a proton made client, because i think proton could use such a program, nad i think it would really be able to put some needed functionalities in the matrix protocol, like a good voip feature, as proton has a video calls program , and a good moderation managment system, and perhaps most importantly a good decryption encryption handling -because something ive noticed is that either you get closed systems like signal and telegram - which need phone numbers and dont really support multiaccount, and has a lot of payy for features that should be free, (like custom reactions, stickers and gifs), but also translation and such, which could be worked out with Lumo.

   also, i guess with the proton cloud and document features i guess it could cointeract with those for a convenient cooperation thingy, so that its convenient to upload and manage and chat and comment about work as its being done, a very good matrix compliant basically teams app, that also can be used as a fierce discord competitor.

   idk, im trying to sell you a bigger idea so that you can basically fix some things i think need polishing in matrix, because matrix is one of the few direct messaging apps that i trust, and i like that it, like the mail client would be part of like a federated communications protocol, which would be helpful for a lot of things and strengthen the encrypted communications field.

   and like element is doing a good job, but it would be nice with another big player in there to really make it viable aginst discord, zoom, and Teams, cause frankly im tired of classmates and colleagues making me use such spyware for everything...

7. Offer Onion Routing in the Apps

   Proton needs to add a feature to route its services directly to its onion service in the apps (mobile/desktop). This isn’t a new feature by any metric and it’s actually quite underrated among other privacy oriented apps.

   It shouldn’t have to be explained, but Tor itself is a superior circumvention tool to online censorship worldwide. Proton already offers its own onion services on web for people who NEED it. The only caveat is this purpose is strictly limited to the browser and not where it could be an option within the apps to route directly to an onion site for extra security (since privacy is guaranteed over the Tor network connected to an onion service).

   Many of the current circumvention tools and tactics from Proton are helpful but they aren’t foolproof. Alternative routing breaks apart if an admin on the network catches the proton domain calling to google/quad9/cloudflare/aws since it’s bundled there in the DNS queries. The next logical step is to go with Proton VPN. Duh, right? If Proton VPN can be blocked on a network, not even Stealth can help. Stealth is very hit or miss, and Proton is reluctant to try anything other VPNs successfully implemented to bypass VPN restrictions. Instead of really considering it, they wrote a blog post to talk down on it: https://protonvpn.com/support/socks5

   So if everything is blocked on an aggressive network, what can you really do? Connect to Tor. It’s one of the best tools widely available to everyone and often the one that people could count their lives on. You could go ahead and say you can connect to Proton now without onion routing and just have Tor enabled, and you’re right that you can. You just gotta consider that it doesn’t carry the same benefits you get from a proper onion service. The kind that seems minimal but really could save a life. If you don’t care to believe it from here, you could read Proton’s own advocation for it themselves off their own blog post: https://proton.me/tor

   This is a long writeup because I believe this HAS to be implemented and can’t be overlooked. A lot of posts here are people misunderstanding Proton and just posting grievances about bugs they found. I wrote this in hopes to get more attention to the matter.

   I’m gonna link another post on the same topic someone else posted because if not this post gains traction, this one should at least gather some attention: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/48578795-proton-apps-exclusively-only-via-tor

8. Add a Regional Digital Services & Resource Hub to Proton Docs

   Proton already offers excellent documentation, but it could be even more useful by providing a community-maintained section with links to trusted regional digital services and official resources.

   Many users rely on Proton Mail, Drive, or VPN while accessing government portals, education platforms, and public services in different countries. A curated resource hub (or community wiki) could help users discover reliable information without needing to search across multiple websites.

   For example, while helping users in Morocco, I found that guides such as https://massarservicema.net/ make it easier to understand the Massar Service portal and common account-related tasks. Similar community-recommended resources for other regions could improve the overall user experience while keeping the focus on privacy and accessibility.

   This could be an optional community feature where users suggest helpful, non-commercial resources that moderators review before they are listed. It would make Proton more useful for international users without affecting the core products.

9. Add support for LaTeX documents

   Maybe the number of people who would use this feature is no enormous, but I still think there is a gap in the market that Proton could fill. Importantly, the people who would use this feature is willing to pay.

   There is essentially one popular option in the market which is Overleaf, which requires a paid subscription to share a document with more than 2 people, and it is amazingly expensive (€19 monthly). Yet many people pay for it (research funds, it is the university who actually pays).

   Probably this is not immediate to build, but maybe in the future...

    Dear Proton, I love you, I really do. but your Github space is a real disaster, protonsomething accounts everywhere. Why don't you restructure your presence by moving everything to codeberg (just to keep it fully EU ;) ) and making the existing ones a mirror of it?

12. Proton Android UX

    1. Adding the ability to synchronize folders to Proton Drive like on Windows computers would be very helpful, especially when working with documents, photos, or e-books.

    2. Unifying the framework/UI style across all apps, including removing the "delete account" button (I can't count how many times I was afraid to mess with settings because of it)

    3. Allow users to set the icon with a dark or light background, as is currently the case with ProtonVPN

13. Sheet: Default Arrow Key navigation to "Edit Mode" (character-by-character)

    Currently, when a cell is active and I use the arrow keys, the focus jumps to the neighboring cell.

    I would prefer where using the Left/Right arrow keys moves the cursor between the characters within the active cell or formula bar instead of switching cells. Google Sheet does this as default.

    Example Scenario:

    • I have selected cell K10, which contains the text "Proton123".
    • The cell is active/focused.
    • When I press the Left Arrow key, I want the cursor to move between "3" and "2" inside the cell to allow for quick editing.
    • Current behavior: It jumps to cell J10.
    • Desired behavior: The cursor stays within K10, navigating the text string or formula.

14. Dedicated RSS feeds for individual categories in Proton Blog

    Proton publishes a whole bunch of good and useful information in their blog. They also publish a bunch of irrelevant content that doesn't interest me. These posts are already categorized. However there's only one RSS feed that shows ALL content. Please add a dedicated feed for your existing categories. It would be super easy.

16. Scheduled Account-Wide Login Restrictions (All Proton Services)

    My Idea

    I'd like the ability to choose specific hours when my entire Proton Account cannot accept new logins—across all services (Mail, Pass, VPN, Drive, Calendar, Wallet, Authenticator, Meet, Lumo).

    Example:

    Set account to close from 8 PM to 7 AM daily
    No one can log into any Proton service during this window
    Automatically reopens at 7 AM
    Why This Matters

    When I'm sleeping, I don't want to worry about someone accessing my Proton services if credentials are compromised or there's physical device access. An account-wide restriction would add a temporal security layer beyond password and 2FA.

    Key Requirements

    Account-wide scope — Applies to all Proton services simultaneously, not just Mail
    Flexible time windows — Choose start/end times, days of week
    Toggle on/off — Enable/disable instantly without losing settings
    Trusted device option — Certain devices could bypass restriction if needed

17. Proton Sheets - Insert 1 Row does not appear to function correctly

    I have been working with Proton Sheets to ensure it is a replacement for Google Sheets. I desperately want the security that Proton offers. However, I have noticed that no matter how I go about it, when I add a row to an existing spreadsheet, some of the rows that get moved down lose their formatting and go blank. Re-formatting those rows using Proton Sheets formatting does not fix this; if another row is added, that row will still look blank (the text formatting seems to go to white, and thus can't be seen). Also, it seems some of the dependent formulae in elsewhere in the Sheet will not update relative references to account for the additional rows. This is very hard to troubleshoot to be confident all existing formulae remain correct.

    This is on an imported spreadsheet (downloaded from Sheets in XLSX, then imported to Proton Drive).

    Is this a known issue? I can consistently recreate this issue.

    Thanks for all you do. I'm hoping Sheets can be brought up to be a full replacement.

18. Proton to stop promoting on Twitter/X

    I'm asking Proton as a company to stop promoting giveaways and other promotional events on Twitter/X, as it is a cesspool of alt-right and neo-nazi propaganda and is owned and run by a psychopath. Encouraging people to use that platform is harmful to everyone. Please stop.

19. Proton ZeroTrust Gateway

    Product Concept Proton Zero‑Trust Gateway

    Vision

    Proton already protects outbound traffic through its VPN, giving users privacy and security when they connect to the internet. The next logical step is to give them the same level of confidence for inbound connections—letting them expose services (websites, APIs, SSH, RDP, IoT endpoints, etc.) without ever having to open ports or configure complex NAT rules. A “Zero‑Trust Gateway” would sit at the edge of a user’s network, authenticate every request, enforce fine‑grained policies, and only forward traffic that meets those policies to the private host.

    Core Pillars

    • Identity‑First Access – Every inbound request must present a verifiable identity before any traffic reaches the user’s device. Integration with existing Proton accounts (including Proton Pass for MFA, Proton ID for SSO, and optional third‑party IdPs) ensures that only authorized users can connect. The gateway can also support short‑lived access tokens, QR‑code scans, or email‑based approvals for ad‑hoc sharing.

    • Encrypted Tunnel‑to‑Tunnel – Once a request is authenticated, the gateway establishes an end‑to‑end encrypted tunnel directly to the user’s Proton VPN client. From the perspective of the public internet, the service appears to be hosted behind Proton’s globally distributed edge nodes, while the actual payload travels over the same privacy‑preserving infrastructure used for outbound VPN traffic.

    • Policy Engine – Users define per‑service policies that combine:

      • Who (specific Proton users, groups, or external identities)
      • When (time‑bound windows, geofencing)
      • How (allowed methods, rate limits, logging requirements) The engine evaluates each request in real time, rejecting anything that falls outside the defined parameters.

    User Experience Flow

    • Publish a Service – From the Proton dashboard or mobile app, the user selects “Expose Service,” chooses a local port or container, and assigns a friendly sub‑domain under *.protongateway.io. They then attach an access policy (e.g., “Only my team members” or “Anyone with a one‑time link”).

    • Share the Endpoint – The generated URL can be shared directly, embedded in an invitation email, or turned into a QR code. If the policy requires approval, the recipient receives a secure request that they can approve with their
      Proton Pass MFA.

    • Connect Securely – When a remote client accesses the URL, the edge node authenticates the request, establishes the encrypted tunnel, and forwards traffic to the user’s device over the existing Proton VPN tunnel. To the remote client, the service feels like a normal HTTPS endpoint; to the user, no inbound ports are opened.

    Strategic Fit for Proton

    • Differentiation – While many VPN providers focus solely on outbound privacy, a Zero‑Trust Gateway positions Proton as a full‑stack privacy platform, covering both directions of traffic.

    • Synergy with Existing Products – Leverages Proton VPN’s global edge network, Proton Pass for MFA, and Proton Identity for SSO, creating cross‑product stickiness.

    • Enterprise Appeal – Remote teams, developers, and small businesses can expose internal tools (git servers, dashboards, dev environments) without compromising perimeter security—a clear value proposition for Proton

    Business and Proton Visionary plans.

    • Revenue Opportunity – Offer as part of Proton Plus/Professional tiers, with tiered limits on concurrent exposed services, bandwidth, and advanced policy features (e.g., geo‑blocking, custom TLS certificates).

    Potential Challenges & Mitigations

    • Performance Overhead – Adding an extra hop could increase latency. Mitigate by deploying edge nodes in key regions and using protocol‑level optimizations (QUIC, HTTP/3) for low‑latency paths.
    • Abuse Prevention – Open endpoints could be misused for illicit content. Enforce strict abuse monitoring, require verified Proton accounts for publishing, and provide rapid takedown mechanisms.
    • Complex Policy UI – Users unfamiliar with Zero‑Trust concepts might find policy creation daunting. Provide guided templates (“Team Only”, “Public Read‑Only”, “One‑Time Guest”) and contextual help within the dashboard.

    Product Concept Proton Zero‑Trust Gateway

    Vision

    Proton already protects outbound traffic through its VPN, giving users privacy and security when they connect to the internet. The next logical step is to give them the same level of confidence for inbound connections—letting them expose services (websites, APIs, SSH, RDP, IoT endpoints, etc.) without ever having to open ports or configure complex NAT rules. A “Zero‑Trust Gateway” would sit at the edge of a user’s network, authenticate every request, enforce fine‑grained policies, and only forward traffic that meets those policies to the private host.

    Core Pillars

    • Identity‑First Access – Every inbound request must… more

20. Offer funds to Ladybird

    This one is a bit different, but consider offering financial support to the Ladybird project.

    It's arguably one of the most interesting open source projects around right now. Other privacy organisations and individuals are already viewing this project with great interest.

    Also, the Proton Foundation and Proton vpn each donated a grant back in 2024.

    Now, it's 2026. Two years have passed, and earlier funding has now come to fruition. The Ladybird project is about to launch an alpha release of their software. For that reason, I think the Proton Foundation and/or Proton services should consider offering another round of funds for the project.

    The Ladybird project still has a great overlap in values.

    What is Ladybird? Ladybird is an open source browser, which is the first browser in decades that is independent from Google.

    Why fund Ladybird? With their coming alpha release, the project is more promising than ever. When it releases, I think it will break news in tech circles. The current browser landscape is dominated by Google. Before you say, "but Firefox"... Look, yes, Mozilla is a competitor, and it is a great browser, but it's still dependent on Google for funding.

    I would personally argue that the browser is the most important piece of software on any device, anywhere today. The current landscape of the web is not a static. It's continuously evolving, but it's all Google owned or influenced. We can observe that Google is using its dominance to make the web less private.

    There needs to be an alternative, and as much have used and still use Firefox, they are in an unfortunate marriage with Google.

    For that reason I think Ladybird is an interesting contender for another round of funding.

    Note: I am not affiliated with the ladybird project in any way, and I have never been in touch with the project in any way. I am just a regular guy who also cares about the web.

    EDIT: Okay, there's also safari, but the point still stands.
