I think this is a great idea. However, I share kkotak's concern

Most people here (including myself) will have the same feeling. Would be great if it was open source.
Chrome plugins basically are though? It is just a bunch of HTML/Javascript-files and a manifest.json.
Good point
Will work on open-sourcing it. Need to clean up a few things first but definitely not opposed to that.
Unpack the extension and it effectively is.
I suspect it's still minified and obfuscated, in which case we're basically calling binary data open source.
I definitely did not make any efforts to minify/obfuscate anything and as you can see from other comments the source is quite readily available from unpacking. You can see for yourself it's not doing anything sketchy other than retrieving your albums and photos and storing them locally.
