You mean the library that you've been using from the beginning of the proper web client? This is not an answer. Kudos for finally doing ECC though.

For internal use we had all RSA keys so it was fine. For external use we have to support what everyone uses, and there is a variety as you know. Saying "hey, you can use PGP but all your friends have to have RSA keys" is not a recipe for a good user experience.

This is great to hear! If/when protonmail transitions to be mail host that support open standards in a wider sense, I'd more seriously consider becoming a customer :-)

Fwiw, while I'm not that interested in the current project - I actually think it's great to build a walled garden on open standards - especially for secure services. Makes it easier to evaluate, and opens the door fore secure interop in the future.
