Inspiration
With the COVID-19 infection numbers fluctuating many employers have decided to move to a hybrid work arrangement, where you have the flexibility to choose whether you prefer to work from home or from the office on a given day. Both of these options has its advantages, but some days the environmental factors make the decision easier - is my service provider having some problems today? I probably don't want to risk teleworking today. Am I going to be stuck in traffic for hours going to the office? Better telework today. With this collection the process will be reduced to one simple recommendation - "stay home" or "all clear to go to the office"!
What it does
It collects data from various APIs and outputs the recommendation with some details to a Slack channel. The data is gathered from: Downdetector - to check your ISP status positionstack - to translate your home and work addresses into geographical coordinates openweather - to get the information about weather and pollution Google's distancematrix API - to calculate the traffic on the route to work COVID-19 API - to get information about COVID-19 cases in your country
What's next for the project
Many improvements can be made to the logic of the final recommendation - at the moment it a simple yes/no recommendation taking hardcoded thresholds and it won't provide custom results based on personal preferences (e.g. the weather is a more important factor if you cycle to work).
