    “After years of pushing their proprietary and closed solutions to privacy minded people Proton decided that it was in their best interest to further bury said users into their service as a form of vendor lock-in. To achieve this they made yet another non-standard implementation of something that already existed, this time a crypto wallet." :)

      Who are you quoting? And which proton solutions aren’t open source?

        Proton Calendar mobile app code is still unreleased. They’ve been promising to release it for a year and a half already.

          That’s one product, does that really justify OPs remark “After years of pushing their proprietary and closed solutions”?

            Nope. Just thought it would be important to share this.

      Good alternatives? I like their mail client and the possibility for aliases that I can generate and lock once they get spammed with newsletters.

        Use addy.io for aliases. Use a different privacy focused mailbox for your mail. I’d advice you to strictly seperate these two things like that so you remain independent.
