#3This is very nice!

#4Good to see that they are on a positive stream with their commitment to open sourcing their apps.
Really looking forward to when Proton has near parity with the GSuite basics.

#7Cool. But neither the audit nor the repository explains if it's possible to create the APK in a reproducible way. Google Play distributed APKs contain their signatures, so in theory it wouldn't be possible to 1:1 reproduce the distributed ones.
However for F-droid this would allow them to sign their own APKs and provide some additional security guarantees in their supply chain.
Also a bit concerning that there is no tags yet in the repository.

#10Great to see this! On another note: there was a six month gap (unless I'm mistaken) between the iOS version being open sourced, and this Android release. I am a bit surprised that iOS got open sourced first. Is this because it did not receive the same security audit that presumably held up the release of the Android source?
