ProtonMail/WebClients is an open-source repository containing the web clients for Proton's suite of privacy-focused applications, including ProtonMail, ProtonCalendar, ProtonDrive, and ProtonVPN. It provides a unified codebase for Proton's web-based services, emphasizing security, privacy, and user-friendly interfaces.

Pros

• Open-source, allowing for community contributions and transparency
• Unified codebase for multiple Proton services, ensuring consistency
• Strong focus on privacy and security features
• Regular updates and active development

Cons

• Complex codebase due to multiple integrated services
• Steep learning curve for new contributors
• Dependency on specific Proton backend services
• Limited customization options for end-users

Code Examples

As this is not a code library but rather a complete web application, code examples are not applicable in the traditional sense. However, here are a few snippets to illustrate the project structure and coding style:

// Example of a React component in the project
import React from 'react';
import { c } from 'ttag';
import { Button } from '@proton/components';

const ExampleComponent = ({ onAction }) => (
    <Button onClick={onAction}>{c('Action').t`Click me`}</Button>
);

export default ExampleComponent;

// Example of a utility function
import { MINUTE } from '@proton/shared/lib/constants';

export const formatDuration = (durationInSeconds) => {
    const minutes = Math.floor(durationInSeconds / MINUTE);
    const seconds = durationInSeconds % MINUTE;
    return `${minutes}:${seconds.toString().padStart(2, '0')}`;
};

Getting Started

To set up the project locally:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients.git
   

2. Install dependencies:

   cd WebClients
   yarn install
   

3. Start the development server:

   yarn start
   

Note that full functionality requires access to Proton's backend services, which may not be publicly available. Refer to the project's documentation for more detailed setup instructions and potential limitations for external contributors.
