It posts events to the TorontoJS slack #events channel
# setup

I deployed this to AWS Lambda using apex up (which seems to be sunsetted now)
You could deploy it anywhere a node service can run, including your local machine / network.
# staging deploy
up
# production deploy
up deploy production
# get staging URL:
up url
# get production URL:
up url -s production
Super-secret slack webhook URL is stored in Lambda's ENV store:
up env add SLACK_WEBHOOK="https://secret.url/here" -s production
You'd want to ensure the above ENV var is available if you actually want to post to slack
Right now it's scheduled using cron-job.org - every morning at 8am for daily events and every week on Sunday at 8pm for the coming week
