I also think about this general problem a fair amount, but this: > ... There is a whole bunch of toil baked into this hobby and I'm wary of creating an endless source of digital chores for myself Always stops me from pursuing it seriously. Also that I already do a fair amount of ELT at work and couldn’t tolerate it as a hobby. But this framework makes sense. Seems like the idea is connector, schema mapping, and datatype standardization configured in one place. It’s a well thought-out framework and I actually have an internal platform at work that accomplishes something very similar, albeit for a totally different purpose. But I also personally wouldn’t see a ton of value from this, except if it were used for bills, taxes, and financial management. But then the privacy aspect becomes paramount. There’s a reason people just have to do that stuff manually. I would be surprised if Apple and Google didn’t eventually start to build something like this. Google is already pretty good at unifying email and calendar. It’s something that’s really only possible to deploy at the mobile OS level, because any other alternative would involve sending all of your data to a third party platform, which for most people these days is a non-starter. Plus with LLMs being a thing, the perfect interface to centralized/standardized personal data now exists.
