Just waiting on what the Standard Notes collaboration pans out to. Also wish they'd flesh out their side projects fully before adding more and more new toys to the suite.
As always, it's different people working on different products.
Yes, but the company can still be stretching itself too thin by having too many projects on at once.
I know it’s usually not as simple as throwing bodies at a project, but it feels like they could still do with more focus on their core products.
Sure. I'm no fan of most proton products anyway anymore because their products don't work with other software like calendar only works with their apps. I use vpn, pass and mail but the rest isn't too useful for me and I rather use nextcloud. Not because their products are trash but because I want something slightly different.
As always, it's the upper management who decides if there are more/less people working on the products, or any people at all
id advise to just start using joplin or whatever suits you. i cannot prove it but would not be surprised if they keep buying those apps mainly to remove them from the market and thus grow their ~~monopoly~~ ecosystem. addy.io also got an offer to sell but refused.
Maybe they could even stop charging subscription fees for client-side features for the people who self-host...
They said in the announcement that this came out of the standard notes collaboration
"We built docs in Proton Drive as a joint project with the team from Standard Notes, who share our core values around privacy and security. "
