The Privacy DadWhile the desktop experience has some room for improvement, the Ente Photos app on mobile is totally competitive with privacy-invasive alternatives.

Rutger@theprivacydad @ente @techlore Great write up. I loved my time as an Ente user: coming from Google Photos I couldn't point out any major issues or things I missed.
As a Proton Premium user I've recently switched away from Ente to Proton Drive Photos, but I still miss the functionality that Ente has. They are waaaay ahead of Proton Photos. Maybe Proton could acquire Ente and use their solutions? 😉
tweetwee@stutger @theprivacydad @ente @techlore I think Proton already has too much services, they really should focus on the most requested features. I got back to using them for a month as a test but I'm already feeling like I'm going to leave. Proton is feeling too much like a classic corporate business now (even though they're non-profit). The last thing I want is them acquiring other services (like with standard notes). Having choice in this privacy space is important.

Proton acquiring Ente would also be tragic for new feature development. Ente is way more reactive to issues and implementing new features, Proton seems to drag their feet on basically every product they offer.

@gommehammer @tweetwee @theprivacydad @ente @techlore Would indeed be a concern if the original team is not allowed to stay on and work on Ente.
But hopefully it won't come to an acquistion. To be clear: this was just hypothetical from my side, not an actual situation based on any news 😄
