[SailfishDevel] A probably stupid question

[Dylan Van Assche]

I'm also a Protonmail user, I tried this in the past but I wasn't able to achieve this goal.
Currently, I'm a bit busy but I am hoping on QtWebEngine for SFOS. If we have that available at our disposal, a Protonmail webapp would be doable with notifications and stuff I think. Chromium support web notifications out of the box normally.

Kind regards,
Dylan Van Assche

P.S.: No questions are stupid ;-), if you have any questions, please ask!
