> Why can’t I just click a button and follow all the local events for my favorite artist/venue/team/theater/charity? Because it costs time and money to collect and maintain those data. And you need a proper technical solution to let other use those data in a meaningful way. Usually it busts at the second part, because either the people have not enough time or expertise to offer exportable data; or it's not in their interesst, as they earn money from presenting them to the users. The whole self-managment-space sucks because everything is so one sided. Other people must do something and offer something to make it work, and we as the users have little to no way to make things work from our side with little to no effort/expertise. The real joke is, there are all kind of specialized solutions and ugly hacks from users to make things work. But all of them are isolated solutions. What we might need is a gamechanger to empower the users, simplifying automation of those things from our side. Home Automation has it's vibrant community with home assistant, node-red, etc. Why does something like that does not exist for work automation? IFTTT&Co. is the best we got so far, and those are commercial solutions running in the cloud, not in our homes/desktops.
