Proton Take Aim at Google Docs with New Online Document Editor

Proton, once famed for its VPN offers, these days provides a full suite of secure services, including e-mail, cloud storage, and password manager (Proton Pass Linux app launched last month). Now, it’s adding another string to its privacy-focused bow, and takes aim at Google Docs in the process. This week Proton announced Docs in Proton Drive, a “privacy-first document editor” which allows anyone with a (free or a paid) Proton account to create, edit, share, and collaborate documents on-the-go from any web browser. Admittedly, an open source, auditable cloud-based word processor isn’t strictly Ubuntu-specific news (incase you’re wondering why I’m

How to become a professional software developer: ⤵️

1. Code. A lot.
2. Embrace the bugs.
3. Google is your friend.
4. Learn from others' mistakes (and your own).
5. Never stop learning (new languages, frameworks, etc.).
6. Build cool stuff.
7. Share your knowledge (and learn from others).
8. Repeat steps 1-7.

"If you have the ability to literally make someone’s day by taking a moment to say a few nice words, just do it."

Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. And then, without you even realizing it, these pieces come back. New love enters. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you is staring back in the mirror.

In 1990 the British game publisher Thalamus released our Digital Mugician music editor for the Amiga.

The sound editor UI had space left across the bottom, so we turned it into a screen-wide button you could press to "Generate a delayed 3-dimensional waveform course display," a 3D graph of the sound.

I wonder if that's the longest button label ever? 😃
