I would suggest to build something like Signal by open whisper systems. Something that is not necessarily linked to protonmail accounts (or only protonmail users would be able to use it), but something like whatsapp. It could make you so much more famous.

@Laurent
everything is wrong with Signal. Starting with the fact that they have had no iOS developer for almost a year now. The android app is FULL of bugs, calls disconnect every couple of minutes, etc etc. Moxie doesn't listen to the community, PRs are turned down all the time, bug issues on github are closed because "it's never OWS's fault". Users are leaving Signal because they are frustrated to see bugs unsolved, PRs rejected, only ios and android supported (when they have explicitly rejected PR about ubuntu phones and they've said they don't plan on coding for any other platforms), bad community managment, and I could go on forever.
We need a serious company with a serious funds managment like Protonmail to do this kind of thing if we want it to be successful. Signal is for fanboys who don't understand that the world revolves around money, and you need developers to build stuff (more than just one developer on android and one for a browser extension).

I think you should really talk to the people at wire (wire.com). They provide a beautiful messenger that makes encrypted calls, video calls, chats, etc.. They are also not based in the USA. Their app does not force users to use their phone number, which is a big plus.
