Beat me by this much.
But finally! Its here.
Releasing Proton Meet too would be cherry on top and make the year end a little bit nicer! I know they lurk around here so if you’re reading this, pretty please Proton?
Fina-f****g-lly
Now we need presentations (I’m personally okay with it being slower) and that’s about it!
I imagine it’ll come in due time.
I first want more improvements with their current offerings including upgrades to Calendar, Wallet (BTC Lightning and XMR support), Meet, VPN upgrades they already said is on its way, etc.
I am quite curious the reason why only sheet is developed and released, is the office suite being developed as multiple individual products?
Also
Anyone with a Proton Drive account can use Proton Sheets for free.
Maybe it is a staged rollout as well??
Confused what you’re implying
Every proton user (especially if you use drive) should have it
Let me see if I can replicate it, because the answer to the question for now is maybe
Yeah it’s being rolled out to accounts slowly it would appear. I don’t have it yet either. Give it a day or two at most and I’m sure it’ll show up.
Functional, online, privacy-respecting sheets may be enough to keep me in PDrive… I was shopping around, looking to diversify across multiple providers, but online spreadsheets are a HUGE asset to me
If they eventually add Forms & a backend script for automation (comparable to GAppScripts), GDrive will become an old fever dream that fades away
One word:
CryptPad
I guess I don’t use sheets enough to fully understand the value.
For me, any of those is fitting my needs: GitHub - awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted: A list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers
But the key sentence is probably
easy-to-use spreadsheet that lets your team collaborate
At least, you can get some free 5 GB but from the moment when you share a link to someone, I guess it’s not anonymous no more. But yes, probably still a better leap in privacy than Google.
But again, as a company shouldn’t you focus more on Security, hence stay on GSheets? 
I guess I see it from my own bubble of solo guy with a self-hosting enabled skillset that doesn’t really need to collaborate with cells. 
Google sheets comes with tons of handy functions and addons, for heavy google doc / sheet users, there are no alternatives on the market.
Then I don’t know how in the world would Proton be able to catchup to all of those fancy addons and functions.
I heard those excuses quite a few times but I am yet to see the “poweruser” person that is doing something more advanced than basic arithmetics with a few cells. I just feel like people have muscle memory and are not willing to take the effort to switch away from their habits.
I could kinda understand people that are locked within Adobe Premiere[1] but a Sheets tool? For real?
Either people need better tools for their use-case and should have dedicated tools or they are fine with the most basic tool. I don’t really see the
Multi-billion company that built an empire thanks to their crazy powerful Google Sheets expertise
kind of headline, but again I’m probably just blind here. 
In fact I don’t, DaVinci Resolve is just miles ahead and better on every aspect tbh ↩︎
Let me guess, you also don’t see why some people would use Word when there’s already notepad.exe?
One example I see many people do love is The GOOGLEFINANCE Function, mail merge, etc.
You really cannot replicate the function with a few cells.
Also it offers plugin to work with maps, GIS, etc, it is indeed a very powerful tool.
I’ve seen, used, or worked on quite a few really powerful spreadsheet applications. GSheets can be used as a database & frontend for largescale applications, with GForms used for data entry & GAppScripts JS for time/event triggered automation
Benefits:
- Free. Established companies can buy $4K licenses for commercial software, but cost is a concern for smaller coalition efforts
- Easy. Leadership is often not tech savvy, formulas & automation can abstract anything complex from the idiots users
- Online & Collaborative. Any member may need access from any device
The Google suite is malicious, but the tools do kick ass. Seeing an affordable, privacy-centric alternative develop makes me all warm & fuzzy
I’m on the Visionary plan, and Spreadsheet just became available for me!
Viewing it on my phone seems to be view-only because the screen is too narrow.
I look forward to the day this rolls out in a non-view-only form on the mobile app.
try rotating ur phone?
