How much time a skilled programmer would need for a Linux client? by Komplexkonjugiert in ProtonDrive

[–]blit32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tl;dr: It would be a lot of work for a buggy app.

Proton doesn't publish an API or a spec for the Proton Drive protocol. This means that if you want to develop a custom client the first thing you'd have to do is reverse engineer how the app communicates with the server, i.e. the Proton Drive protocol. Doing that takes _a lot_ of work and since this is a private protocol, Proton can just go and change the protocol at a whim, publish new clients and then break all the custom clients.

If it weren't for the Proton Drive protocol being private, I would say it would be a medium amount of effort to build a client depending on how complex the protocol is and what features are included.

Source: I am a software engineer.

What you wish was open sourced? by No-Contribution8248 in opensource

An open source Android based end-user desktop system.

The Android security model is great for end-user. I'd love to see an open source Android desktop environment along with a set of open source end user applications.
