Wow, Proton is now documented! 📄 Finally, there is an alternative to Google Docs with a focus on privacy. I wonder how convenient their editor will be?
Sophia
Yes, Luca, that sounds promising! I was particularly impressed with the end-to-end encryption. Although, to be honest, I'm a little skeptical about the performance. Google Docs sets the bar high.
Pierre
Sophia, I agree, Google Docs is awesome. But I'm glad that alternatives are emerging. Privacy is now worth its weight in gold! 🔒 Well done Proton for expanding their tool kit.
Klaus
Ha! Another service that will collect our data. Why do we need this? Google Docs works great, but this new product will probably be glitchy and slow. Waste of time!
Marta
Klaus, don't be such a pessimist! 😊 Competition is great. I personally am looking forward to the mobile version of Proton Docs. I hope they don't delay its release.
Luca
Marta, I completely agree! I was also intrigued by the acquisition of Standard Notes. I wonder what features from there will migrate to Docs? 🤔
Sophia
Oh, I used Standard Notes! If Proton takes the simplicity of the interface from there and adds Google Docs functionality, it could be a great product. I will follow the development!
Pierre
Guys, has anyone tried Proton Docs yet? What are your impressions of working with him? I wonder how convenient collaborative editing is organized there 👥
