See the next steam sales in your calendar! (github.com)

Hey!

I found out that Steam announces their next sales almost a year in advance. After discovering this, I started looking for a service that allows me to see the next steam sales right in my calendar. However, I couldn't find anything, so I quickly spun up a solution of my own.

It's basically just a Rust project that generates a '.ics' file from the latest information (manually entered, as I couldn't find an API for this). The repository also hosts a workflow that automatically builds the file after an update.

You can add this to your own calendar using the following URL: steam_sales.ics.

Hope someone finds this useful.

As for me, I just visit this site to see the next sales. But it's a neat idea

That is the website where I first found about this, but I was disappointed when I couldn't find a calendar or rss feed for it.
