Only speaks English and doesn't have a dark theme. Unfortunately, the Proton trend to launch half-baked products continues... Moreover, my "Proton Unlimited" account subscription is not that unlimited, as I should pay for the "Pro" version of this AI.

Was the Proton community really asking for this?

That sounds unnecessarily harsh. Dark theme is far from necessary (although nice) and English-only still means most Proton users can use it.

Better to start somewhere and improve based on feedback than wait endlessly.

Dark theme is an accessibility issue for people with eye diseases like mine. If you both need high luminance contrast and have photophobia, dark themes are the only ones that are usable.

There are workarounds, like inverting all the colors on your screen, but they suck.

You can also use the Dark Reader browser extension [0], an open-source extension for Chromium and Firefox that works on most websites (including Hacker News) in the dynamic mode, restyling the page to a dark theme!

When I can access something in the browser rather than only via native apps, I rely heavily on Dark Reader, Midnight Lizard, and Page Shadow. Love all three to death

I agree with both of you. GP was harsh, but I personally think dark theme is necessary (and a very basic feature). However, I am grateful that Proton released this as I always felt _icky_ using tools like Grok or ChatGPT. I'm sure improvements will not take long to arrive.

Don't misrepresent without checking - https://lumo.proton.me/about

Which languages does Lumo understand?

I currently support chats in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

considering replies under the feature announcement post on bsky, their community wasn't expecting this - to put it mildly

As a long time customer of Proton, I was not expecting this but I'm very happy they did it.

I am talking with it in French, the UI is even localized. Dark theme is missing though.

German works fine, too.
