Retrieve dagssedler from boerneintra and present them awesomely

Instainst

I often forget to read up on the daily updates from my kids institution.

Probably because the login procedure is tedious and the UI incredible boring.

This system will crawl and retrieve the entries from the categories I'm interested in, and make them available to me automatically on a daily basis.

So it's a 100% personal project, and right now a hardcoded can of worms, but feel free to grab anything that would be of any use to you.

Usage (mostly a note to self thing at this point)

To be able to login you'll need to pass in a username and a password in the ENV variables

• process.env.username - username for the login screen
• process.env.password - password for the login screen
• process.env.mailerEmail - e-mail address to send from (must be a gmail address)
• process.env.mailerPassword - password for the mailer e-mail address

TODO

Write docs for the options needed for the instainst module constructor.

instainst's Issues

Remove hardcoded host name

Right now everything points to https://rk.inst.dk - sort it out.

Improve documentation in README

The options for the module constructor haven't been documented. Fix it.

Beautify e-mail subject

Isn't really that nice right now.

Reverse date format for folders in file system

For a more correct order, we should reverse date format from '29-01-2015' to '2015-01-29'.

Deployment

We should make deployment of the application easy. Look into that.

Add logging

Log every session to a file, so we can see when things go wrong.

Errorhandling

We don't handle errors very well right now. When servers time out or similar, we should be able to reject promises and handle errors.
