General Meetup Page

[nikgraf]

I would like to make a useful tool out of this simply parsing the Meetup API. If it's using AWS Lambda with Serverless we can make it a plug & play setup where you just need the meetup url of your meetup page for configuration. Due the low traffic it probably costs not more than a few cents per month to host. For static hosting we could use Netlify or similar.

The idea is to have a public page that features the upcoming meetup very prominent. Further it contains a list of more upcoming meetups.
On this page there should be a contact formular, which when sent sends an email to each of the organizers or even to Slack if they have a channel setup.

In order to update the content we can have Lambda function that pings the meetup.com API every hour and updates the content.

The front-end obviously uses React 🙂 For styling we can use styled-components …

DNS routing can be done via Route53, but that should be optional.

React Vienna will be our example, but others can use it as well. I think that could be a fun project where all of us working on it together.
What do you think?
