		Ask HN: Is anyone building Apps on Gmail
		6 points by smashing on July 28, 2012 \| hide \| past \| favorite \| 2 comments
		I am directing this question to apps or services which can be built with a web front-end or using a client binary application, i.e. iOS/Andoid app or desktop. Links to existing projects or products would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

GMail doesn't have a proper API (POP and IMAP obviously don't count) so things are hard.

Xobni and Rapportive (since purchased by LinkedIn) have GMail apps, both scraped and injected themselves into the DOM via Chrome extensions.

OK, thanks! I was looking to build something that combined gmail and craigslist. Haven't seen anything thus far.
