The issue is that they’re neglecting their core apps in favor of expanding their portfolio. There’s nothing wrong with creating these apps, but it should not be done until the core apps are industry leading and extremely refined.
The developers they used to create this wallet could have been used to fix protonmail bugs, or to bring protonvpn on Linux up to snuff. There’s still no first party CLI for Linux boxes, for example.
I will say, I disagree with this perspective as a developer.
Adding more people doesn’t inherently make the product better. You can have too many cooks in the kitchen and too many people stepping on each other’s toes.
It’s like the saying 9 women can’t make a baby in a month.
I think the other apps are moving at a reasonable pace. Though I do wish they’d put some more people on Linux desktop apps… Maybe even a Linux distribution “Proton OS” could be very interesting.
I don’t see much value in a “Proton OS,” there are already more than enough Linux distros to choose from. But better Linux compat is always welcome, I’d much rather see them put resources there than on a distro.
It doesn’t seem proton is neglecting their core apps, instead it seems they are getting more people, so each service has enough people. https://proton.me/careers
