Headless Monica? #4202

Open TomGranot opened 4 years ago

TomGranot commented 4 years ago

I'm mostly (as in, 99%) using Monica for the reminders. I LOVE when they come in the email, reminding me to contact this or that person.

The thing is - I don't need all the other cruft there, except for maybe the "When I met them" field and the "Add Contact" button.

I was thinking a small local client / CLI type tool that authenticates with my (personally-hosted) Monica instance (using a proposed API / a headless browser if no API) would be quite cool.

It can be language-agnostic, which might help the non-PHP crowd using Monica.

I'm not saying I'll do it, and I'm not really asking for this from the team. But if other people experience the same thing, maybe this can become part of the project by merit of a few hours given by a few people.

Thoughts?

Counter-offer: Do it with E-Mail.

Subject line contains the name of the person, body of e-mail optionally contains when to contact them, when you met them, etc, and monica returns back an answer of success or failure.

Could be a lambda function in the middle actually, that just accepts incoming E-Mails and does an API call. Not sure if ~SES can do that~ lambda functions can accept e-mails, will check.
