Upgraded version of sc2-calendar

I made initially this project in Python / Flask / Redis, but eventually ran into maintenance problems. You can look nonetheless at its repository.

Now, written in Go, and using Memcached mostly because of its free tier, the application is more maintenable and faster. It is also a cool way to learn Go 😁

What is it ?

What is it ? sc2-calendar is a web scrapper / iCalendar server which uses https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/Liquipedia:Upcoming_and_ongoing_matches as a source and Flask as a iCalendar server.

The end result is a customizable link which permits to subscribe to arbitrary number of players and teams, pro or not as long as it figures on Liquipedia webpage.

You can subscribe to a iCal feed using this link : https://liquipedia-calendar.oa.r.appspot.com/?game=

Fill the querystring by visiting : https://liquipedia.net/

Once the link added in a Calendar App, events are auto generated and look like this.
