Proton Wallet is an easy-to-use self-custodial wallet that makes financial freedom attainable for everyone.

I at least appreciate that the very first header is “Why build Proton Wallet?”.

Cool experiment - But why released an unpolished product? This is a weird trend, like ya’ll went from developing like snails (still waiting on Proton Calendar for iPadOS) to releasing new expansions faster than even the most micro-transaction hungry video game developers. Docs, Scribe (which a lot of AI skeptics are still getting a hang of, deeply appreciated but AI-branding x black box data usage takes some getting used to. Also not a new product, more an expansion for email) and now… a Bitcoin Wallet?

Very cool but since the norm for Google-centered users/digital citizens is a (perhaps illusory) degree of separation of personal and financial organization, having it as part of the Proton Suite instead of a well-integrated but separate service (or for the option to be like Scribe) is a hard pill to swallow (especially since it’s Bitcoin).
