I built a site to scrape events from my city and show them all on one page. It was amazing for finding things to do, until Facebook shut down their events API and the site died overnight.

The secret is to not use any apis and just scrape with abandon (and then to only build it for yourself so that you don't get sued)
I tried, but scraping ended up being too hard, so I binned it.
