This is remarkably needless. Proton endorses and encourages Signal. Everyone voting yes to this needs to do their homework because being based in the US is not a factor with how secure Signal is, and some perspective that Proton’s version of this would mean every message you make is tied to your email address.
First of all, Signal is end to end encrypted. If that sounds familiar, it means the same thing that you got Proton Mail for: Signal will comply with court orders but can’t provide what they don’t have. All of you should be aware of that because clearly 600+ people don’t see that.
Secondly, wishing for a Signal like app from Proton to “complete the set” is just telling everybody you want unification out of complete convenience. Signing up for Proton alone is already a hassle compared to whatever email provider you came from if you don’t have a domain. The line is drawn at registering for Signal with a phone number? Come on, you can download SimpleX if you really need to avoid phone numbers.
Third, a lot of you need to firmly wrap your head around this idea that you are better suited not putting everything in one basket. Begging Proton to make a Proton version of an app that’s already done well and better somewhere else is why their products are lacking severely in quality. Proton Drive improvements are welcome but they’re coming at a snail’s pace. Pass flew at lightspeed thankfully. Mail is easy enough to allow updates to come slowly and surely. VPN is slowly rowing a boat in mud. Do you really need Proton Signal? The answer is quite rhetorical when you put EVERYTHING in perspective rather than wishing to have a home screen full of Proton logos because you miss Google.
