escapetools

This repository aims to contain a suite of tools to aid you in liberating your data from Google and other web app vendors. As a start, we are working on actually grabbing the data, but at a later point we might re-implement alternatives to the hosted solutions.

Currently there is a PoC of a GMail harvester that is capable of grabbing emails and outputting their contents to the terminal. At a later point we will look at implementing scrapers for other hosted apps.

Roadmap

For the GMail case, the plan is to get the scraper to a state where it is able to dump the email data (with attachments) into a standardized format. Then, we should clean-room implement the GMail interface (or maybe implement a better one), perhaps as a skin for RoundCube or other webmail middleware -- needs investigation).

After finishing the GMail work, we should go on with the other targets on the list below.

Targets

  • GMail
  • Google Calendar
  • Google Drive
  • Facebook

Related projects

  • GMVault has a much more mature GMail ripper than we do.
  • GMailUI is a UI toolkit for making GMail-like interfaces.
  • CSS3.Gmail.Buttons implement GMail-like buttons in pure CSS3.
  • FullCalendar implements a good alternative to GCal
  • Mailpile has a rather nice mail backend with searches and stuff.
