The goal: to have a serverless solution that scrapes a list of websites that host events and live music in the city of Peekskill and takes the upcoming 7 day's events and formats them in a way that is easily posted, grouped by day, to Peekskill.Rocks, our wordpress site that highlights the goings-on in Peekskill.
Run node . in the top level directory and the outputted template will be console.log'd to the terminal
Below is the html of an example roundup post. The goal is to have as much of this automated as possible. There are a couple areas of editorial that will always need to be hand crafted, but I'd like to take this task from 2-3hrs down to about 20min.
