greetings. i've poked around in the archives a bit and haven't seen this, 
so i thought i'd ask.

it being unlikely that there will ever be a SFOS native app for protonmail, 
i hope -- despite a lack of skills: i don't know much and most of what i 
know is wrong -- to cook up a webapp for it. there's an android app for 
protonmail that runs under aliendalvik, but --

-- it's an android app, and

-- beyond that, it kind of sucks, and

-- even with /usr/share/lipstick/androidnotificationpriorities hacked to 
enable notifications, there are no notifications.

protonmail is being really closed with such things as their bridge for 
linux (which is in beta and which, mostly, works with standard email 
clients; if they'd compile it for arm7 i suspect it would bring protonmail 
to the standard SFOS email app, but i think we'll never know). so a webapp 
seems the only way to bring a native app.

rather than start from scratch, i'm hoping that there's already a framework 
that can be modified to make what amounts to a one-site browser with 
notifications and downloads of attachments to ~/Downloads.

does such a framework exist and, if so, where might i find it?

thanks in advance.
