      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.

        So why does Proton work on multiple products at the same time? Simply because:

        1. throwing more bodies at existing efforts has a point of diminishing returns and then a point when it even becomes counterproductive
        2. given the lengthy minimum time it takes to perfect services, starting earlier lets us deliver more to the community over the long term

        That’s why we bring new services to market earlier than some of you would like, but I can also say that it’s never done if we believe it would compromise an existing effort.
