I would absolutely pay any price for the Bridge software! HOWEVER, I am BROKE and near eviction (thanks covid). I no longer have my own internet, so I am using public wifi and have to conserve battery on my phone and laptop. I cannot afford to pay even $1 per month to anyone but my landlord. Soon as I have a job again (health and economy willing) I will most likely immediately pay for 10 years of Visionary subscription! (When I work, I make low to mid 6 figures).
See my suggestion about implementing "sub keys" for additional devices and offering a detailed, advanced walkthrough for how to **Manually** setup the key pair and sigs on a desktop and how to manually decrypt/encrypt the mail stream. This would be a long walkthrough, but more people would end up wanting to pay after seeing the walkthrough. The only requirement for actual changes to the protonmail apps / server / website is to implement the "sub keys" feature, which is already available in open source tools such as Matrix and/or KeyBase.
Make the walkthrough an __**UNSUPPORTED**__ and "use at your own risk" only article. Many of us would follow it and figure it out with or without tech knowledge (I'm in tech).
....
And, in reply to those who commented saying to just pay up: not an option for many, many people! help us build a new design for civilization that does not require any monetary system or currency and instead of commenting to complain about someone not able to pay, help create the future world similar to Star Trek! (or, insert your favorite sci fi future civilization)
