   I have a strong feeling that when your local station's pledge drive begins, the app will use your location data to generate notifications about donating, which you'll be able to do through the app. At least, that's how I woul

    Upvoting because there is definitely demand for this service, but not sure it's a good idea. It would encourage a "race-to-the-bottom" type behavior on the part of employers and encourage a situation similar to indentured ser

    You could always have your CasperJS scraping script make an AJAX request to a RESTful API for your MySQL DB. You won't be doing it all from one piece of code, but you'll be doing about 90% of it.
