Why?

I love going out to music shows, art events, lectures, and community gatherings. But if something isn't in my calendar it's impossible for me to remember it exists. And people post their events to Instagram these days for some unspeakable reason. So I end up with a screenshot of a post and it goes to my camera roll, forgotten forever. Or I try to put it in my calendar and put it on the wrong day. Great.

But my suffering has come to an end. Now I can turn any event image into a calendar event. Instagram post? Calendar! Poster in cafe? Calendar! Newsletter with list of interesting lectures? Calendar! Existential crisis? Calendar!

But of course I won't keep it to myself. I imagine there are other people out there like me. Is it you? I want your suffering to end too.

If anyone wants to help me figure out how to do this without ML, maybe OCR or another solution, hit me up!
