goskyr VS croncert-config

I am currently building a webscraper, called goskyr, that can be run from the command line and is supposed to be easily configurable. So instead of having to write code to scrape a website you'd just write a configuration snippet and run the scraper. I realize that there are a number of gui based scraping services that make it extremely easy to setup a scraping process for any website, so for people having no coding experience whatsoever that would probably be the easiest solution. I'm trying to come close to those gui based solutions in terms of functionality by providing a 'smart' way of finding potentially interesting data/fields and letting the user select a subset in a terminal based ui. Also date extraction & parsing and the newly added machine learning capability is probably worth mentioning. Still, those other, gui based solutions are really awesome, eg octoparse or scrapestorm.

I am currently working on a configurable command line webscraper, called goskyr and my first use case is collecting as much concert data as possible for this website idea I had, croncert.ch I am hoping that people other than me are willing to contribute to the scraper configuration file in this repository, https://github.com/jakopako/croncert-config, which also contains a github action to regularly run the scraper. What do you think? Could this work? How should I spread the word?

I actually started this scraping project because of an idea I wanted to try, which is scraping concert data from as many websites as possible with as little effort as possible, see https://github.com/jakopako/croncert-config This seems to work better and better. Still I am wondering if there are any other valid use cases for such a terminal based scraper or if it's rather niche. What do you think?

croncert.ch is a website that lists concerts worldwide (currently, ‘worldwide’ is more of a euphemism), focussing on smaller venues. An automated process regularly scrapes the underlying concert data. The idea is that anyone can contribute by extending the scraper configuration with new concert venues.
