Add Anti-Bot Measures to these Suggestions
Bots seem to post here quite frequently, because they want to advertise links to random sites, but links are not necessary for the functionality of these comments, so I would suggest disabling links in comments, or only allow links to the proton.me hostname. Also, you could put a few honeypot fields into the registration form, as well as put a Web Application Firewall in front of the registration form, with a captcha. Both CloudFront and CloudFlare offer this functionality. Stopforumspam.com also offers an api that can be used to query for the reputation of ip addresses, emails, and usernames before…

Have a Peertube Channel / Instance
As you are making more channels and videos on Youtube (https://proton.me/blog/protons-new-youtube-channel-aims-to-arm-you-with-information), could you let people who want to watch those videos on a open-source non-ad-intrusive website such as a Peertube Instance. Either using an existing one or creating one

Firefox-first Proton Scribe Browser Extension
I currently use LanguageTool, although not only did they recently switch to reCAPTCHA, they've been using Doubleclick for longer than I can remember.
As such, I'd appreciate it if there were a Proton Scribe browser extension, especially because I've been planning on upgrading to Proton Unlimited, and it would seem more worth-it if there were a writing system bundled in.
I suggest making it Firefox-first to respect users who have gone out of their way to switch away from Chromium.7 votes -
Rename mobile apps
The current apps on Android all have the prefix "Proton <App>". Personally, I'm not a fan. My app drawer has all apps under the letter P and it doesn't matter what function the app has. I would expect Drive under D, Mail under M, Calender under C etc.
I would like the apps to be renamed to e.g. "Drive by Proton", translated to each language so the apps show up where the other apps with the corresponding function are.

Proton Authenticator copy next code
Currently when pressing/clicking an account, the current totp code is being copied to the clipboard (regardless of where you click).
It would be great if it was possible to copy the next totp code to the clipboard when pressing/clicking the next code (and for the current one, click that one in stead). It'll make it easier when you have to switch between apps and the timer has almost counted down to 0.

What if you had Lumo doing something in the background of the base website
I was just thinking that Lumo is almost going to become your mascot and thought that is might look cool if you had Lumo jumping around and playng in the background of the website. She could be jumping around off of objects. She could be chasing a ball of yarn down the page to encourage people to scroll further down. I don't pretend to know how to do this which is why I bring it up.

Make Folders Smart - Don't move emails
Today all emails that are sorted into a folder don't show up in the mail Inbox. Which makes it super easy to miss incoming emails. Allow emails to be found both in a folder AND in the main inbox. More like how Smart Mailboxes work in Apple Mail.
And no, viewing emails in the All Mail folder is not an efficient alternative because also for example Archived emails are visible in All Mail.

Parent Folder displays also all Sub Folders content
Today when I select a parent folder I expect to see all the emails that are sorted into any of its sub folders, but it's not displaying those emails. I only see any emails sorted into that specific parent folder.

Server capacity & disconnection issues
Hello ProtonVPN Support Team,
I’m using ProtonVPN free and facing serious problems while connecting:
Because nearby servers (e.g., Netherlands, Poland, Romania) are often full, I’m frequently routed to very distant servers like Singapore or Japan, which causes high latency.
While connected, sometimes the server suddenly reaches capacity or, due to my modem’s same-SSID issue (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz switching), the connection drops and I’m forced onto another server. This makes online games disconnect instantly.
When I try to switch servers multiple times, the client enforces a long cooldown, which forces me to wait unnecessarily.
Since free servers are very…

Authenticator as a web application
I work in an environment that doesn’t allow application installs and doesn’t allow my personal device. I’d still like to be able to use 2FA so it would be nice to have Authenticator as a web application, no app to install. I could use Ente Auth for this but would trust Proton more.

Proton Rumble channel to mirror YouTube
Proton should create an official Rumble channel and upload its YouTube videos there as well.
Over the past several years, Rumble has established itself as a YouTube alternative that is solidly pro-freedom, anti-censorship, and NOT OWNED BY GOOGLE!
It might be necessary to be on YouTube to attract the most eyeballs, but many people who use platforms like Rumble to distance themselves from Big Tech are the same users who will resonate with Proton's privacy-conscious mission.
The amount of extra effort it takes to upload content to a 2nd platform is miniscule compared to the time and expense invested in…

General Link Tracking Protection
Hi team!
I know that removal of tracking IDs in emails is currently being worked on, and I think this is a great feature that I can't wait to see fully implemented, but I think proton can take it further and clean links outside of the proton ecosystem. There are a couple of apps that currently try to do this (Léon URL Cleaner, Link Sanitizer and, URLCheck) and they are all very immature implementations. As proton is already creating the mechanisms to complete this function from email, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to expand the capability to…

Fix Standard Notes quirks
Standard Notes keeps accumulating more and more unaddressed quirks:
https://github.com/standardnotes/forum/issues
Please go ahead and resolve more of these expediently.
A separate Proton Notes app would be nice, but it's been a year and I don't want to hold my breath on a rewrite. Incremental enhancements to the existing Standard Notes system would be lovely.

Proton Guardian: Anti-Spyware Solution for Deep-Level Security
Introducing Proton Guardian: Advanced Anti-Spyware for Deep Security
The idea of launching a dedicated anti-spyware tool under the Proton brand—let's call it Proton Guardian—could provide Proton users with a comprehensive security solution. This tool would scan systems for spyware, detect deep-level security vulnerabilities, and provide actionable solutions. With Proton's commitment to privacy, Proton Guardian could become a trusted choice for users looking to enhance their system's security against malware and spyware, building on Proton's reputation for privacy-focused services.

Please support Korean in your program.
Hello.
I live in South Korea.
I recently discovered that using Proton is very useful for protecting my personal information.
I'm requesting Korean support for programs that don't support Korean, not for the web.
Proton Mail/Proton Calendar support Korean, but other programs like VPN/DRIVE don't.
It's a difficult question, but I'd like to request Korean support.
Thank you.
PS) The English version was translated using Google Translate.

MilaNote Alternative with Proton?
I've tried searching up options for a kind of "pin board" application like MilaNote, Thinker, AFFiNE, Obsidian, etc. for people who want to organize their writing/art ideas. However, it's hard to find any that are 100% desktop AND fulfill all the needs I have for such an application, which makes me worried about privacy issues (privacy issues being entire point of going full desktop/local).
MilaNote seemed the closest fit in terms of needs, but privacy concern was a deal breaker.
So if the only truly even mildly secure options available right now require internet connection to use anyhow, why not…
