"Surfer: The World's First Digital Footprint Exporter" is dubious—it's clearly not the first. Kicking off with such a bold claim while only supporting seven major platforms? A scraper like this is only valuable if it has hundreds of integrations; the more niche, the better. The idea is great, but this needs a lot more time in the oven.

I would prefer a cli tool with partial gather support. Something that I could easily setup to run on a cheap instance somewhere and have it scrape all my data continuously at set intervals, and then give me the data in the most readable format possible through an easy access path. I've been thinking of making something like that, but with https://github.com/microsoft/graphrag at the center of it. A continuously rebuilt GraphRAG of all your data.
