Add support for generating unique DuckDuckGo Email Protection addresses

[Rediwed]

Description

DuckDuckGo Email Protection is an email protection service (currently invite-only). After having been invited, DDG provides you with an intermediary e-mail address (you@duck.com). Any e-mail sent to this address will be stripped of its analytics components, before being forwarded to your actual e-mail address (you@you.com).

This script command lets you quickly generate a unique @duck.com address that is connected to your own e-mail address. Just like your personal you@duck.com address, the unique addresses will also forward any e-mail to your own e-mail address, after having been stripped of any tracking or analytics modules.

Type of change

• New Script Command

(I have added this script command to the communication group, becuase it is related to generating unique email addresses instead of related to performing web-searches)

Dependencies / Requirements

• It is required to have been invited into the @duck.com email protection service.
• It is also required to extract your authorization ID from the official DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials extension (see README.md).

Hi @Rediwed,

This looks pretty useful. I wasn't aware of it. Cool stuff! I left you some comments below.

By the way, these scripts would benefit from being an extension. Check them out, if you weren't aware of it.

I think I have correctly processed your comments!

Sorry, overread this comment. Thank you for pointing it out, though I was aware of Extensions.

I'm not comfortable with React, Node.js, or TypeScript. Otherwise, I definitely would've made an extension 🙂 I've worked with AppleScript (and AppleScriptObjC) for the more than a decade, and recently started working with Python (though mostly for data-science, not really programming). I'm not really a developer, but do know a bit of coding.

What made me so much more excited for Raycast (over Alfred or Launchbar) was that I could actually augment it with AppleScript. So thank you so much for allowing that!

I understand. Many thanks for taking the time to contribute this to the community.
