I'm guessing regarding being able to use it outside of their apps, no? That's my main concern. I'm mainly a Mail.app user and having to run the bridge all the time does not seem ideal for me. I haven't tried it out so this is just me talking from the outside.
Search sucks: really. unable to find stuff unless you know the sender, their full text search seems to only work in a browser and only after indexing (which can take an hour) and it will go away with time as it's browser local storage.
Sending emails directly from share sheet in iOS failed twice.
Unable to add an invite to a calendar invite on iOS or in the Webapp (if invited by someone else).
Emails broken format when forwarding to someone else.
Long delay in delivering a simple email (to google and apple) at least three times.
The way that the emails are threaded. And that trash still shows as being in the same thread, instead of moving apart.
False sense of security as most emails are only encrypted on one side. And mine are visible on the other side.
Also just left Proton, there are so many small issues and annoyances in their iOS/iPadOS apps;
You can’t even search the content of e-mails. Can’t increase font size (pinch to zoom sort of works, but impossible to use on a small iPhone (Max) screen). Can’t set any custom notifications. Don’t see what folder an email is stored in. I can go on forever…
And of course it’s not a native app either.
It was a great relief going back to the stock Mail app.
I’ll happily return to Proton when they fix all the issues, and it doesn’t kill my productivity anymore.
> Ive began dreaming about an Apple watch just after CEO Steve Jobs’ death in October 2011. He soon brought the idea to Dye and a small group of others in the design studio.
That is incorrect, or rather, misleading - maybe Ive didn't join the project until 2011, sure, but it began in 2010. Ive didn't lead all design work yet in 2011, he was still just a VP.
Not sure about special agreements or contracts, but Tweetbot along with other high-profile third-party apps (like Twitterrific) had way, way more API tokens available because of their size when Twitter started restricting the number of API tokens an app could have assigned for the lifetime of the app. API tokens for new apps were way more limited, around 10,000 I believe. Tweetbot and Twitterrific, while they never disclosed how many tokens they were given as legacy apps, were still to this day accepting new users, so the number seems to be way more than 10,000.
And they had access to a less limited API (request-wise) to make their app work better without constant rate limiting nags.
Like the previous person said, mainly stability and support. There's no doubt that macOS can run much faster in non-Apple hardware given certain parameters, but if you want support and solid stability you would probably go with Mac hardware.
Guess that hasn't made it to their "download for linux" page on the main site yet. It still offers the plugins, with an alternate option for the command line tools.
