Thanks for this. Been with Proton a while and they're not great at letting their customers know of new products. Either that or they are too successful at filtering their own marketing email.

To the OP: Proton is privacy first. I use their tools for a reason, trusting file transfer to a third party would never happen even with an open code base.

It's fine if the tool is for yourself, great for your CV and well done for shipping something. HN can at times be a cruel place, think of this as a learning experience.

How can a non cool clueless child of the 80's join these secret clubs?

I desperately need this in Nepal. There are so many street dogs and some really need urgent care.

Would be lovely to have a RSS feed for all the posts from RSS.social but it doesn't seem to exist? I don't see it in the source code.

Is the matte screen by default on 13"? Don't see any option to select when purchasing.

This is timely. I'm in hospital having just removed a 9.4mm stone from one kidney and some stones from the other. I don't want to go though this again.

I have vague memories back in 1990 of a superman arcade game in a pub broadcasting the games image to my black and white tv with an antenna in a different room. Not HDMI but the concept is there.

There's a reason the FCC has RF standards otherwise there would be anarchy...anarchy I say!
