From the team:

Hi everyone,

As a result of your valuable feedback, we’ve been working on making Proton Mail and Calendar easier to use on your desktop.

Today, we reached a significant milestone - the Proton Mail and Calendar desktop apps for Windows and macOS are now available in beta for all supporters on paid Proton plans. We’re also working on the Linux app and will release it soon for testing.

Thanks to your initial feedback, we’ve added new features and bug fixes, including:

  • 🗓 Easier access to Calendar via the app switcher on macOS

  • 🚨 Notification badge for unread messages

  • 🔤 Improved accessibility and font support

  • ⏩ Easy Switch and Gmail sync can now be set up from within the app, allowing you to easily sync emails, contacts, and calendars from non-Proton accounts

  • 💜 The option to set Proton Mail as your default email client on macOS

Download links and more info here: https://proton.me/support/mail-desktop-app

Let us know what you think; we look forward to your feedback!

Stay safe,

The Proton Team

Where did they say that? They don’t even have possibilities for remote work?

They recently had a AUA over at Reddit, they stated they they were lacking Linux Developers hence the delay of Linux releases across the board. So can’t judge them to harshly for it either, but personally not gonna wait around for it.

Don’t know anything about who they hire though.

@LunchEnjoyer

@protonmail could start by actually attending various open source conferences. There are several of them only in Europe. #FOSDEM is the largest one (actually happening this weekend), @devconf_cz is another one, with lots of #Linux distribution focus as well.

Sending HR folks and developers to these conferences, having a stand somewhere, meeting people is a solid way to find new hires with a specific skill set.

Great point! They totally should, and I would assume they have the recourses for it too.

I actually tried applying, EU and UK only, with some positions in Asia. US / Canada need not apply.
