This is very cool. I had a similar idea recently but I had no idea how to correctly parse various sources of event information other than writing custom beautiful soup or similar code for every single source.

Actually, I was thinking that event information could maybe be correctly pulled using AI tools. Admittedly, I'm no AI expert, so I am unsure what open source tools would be best for this.

Anyone know of models that could be given a url, and parse any website and scrape the event data and return it in json with a very high degree of accuracy?

What would be cool is to just give the app a list of bookmarks and get a map like this or even automatically have it parsed into ical format.
