I thought to myself "here's an idea", but after a quick Google-search this thread turned up.
Yes; IM/chat is vital I think.
I don't agree with the comment that "Route" posted; this has nothing to do with "creating a (yet another) Social platform". We'll definitely do fine as it is without another social network of walls, and posts, and likes, and +1's, and friends, and photos...
But this. A simple ProtonIM-service, well, it just makes sense. Secure, encrypted, safe. Just like ProtonMail. Integrated with the users ProtonMail account where all the chat history is safely and securely stored, with the same level encryption.
As for "Why?", well.... If you can answer the question "why ProtonMail?" in the first place, just apply the same logic and answers to this, and there we go: it just makes sense.
