I started with their email services many years ago, and today I user their email + free calendar. To be true, they went too much far with all these apps, but as long as it works for them thats fine.

It took me going to their GitHub to find out, but it’s GPL 3.

Very nice, I do hope that helps us finally get a Linux version sometime soon lol

Feels like this would be a bigger win for them than a lot of other companies. The people interested in privacy focused alternative to the Google/Microsoft/Apple offerings probably have a lot of overlap with Linux users.

I believe that rclone already has Proton Drive support.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

It does, yeah. Still, having access to the official client too would be nice.

Unfortunately GitHub is still where 99% of devs are

i think some big project, something really important, needs to migrate for the masses of devs to move too

can you educate me a bit about what's wrong with that?

Will they be now on FDroid? I think only one Proton app is there and it's a little bit sad.

Proton VPN and proton pass

IRRC they even removed all telemetry from pass but not VPN.

They should definitely push drive and calendar there too.
