## Wishlist

- [ ] Add uptime monitoring func to tell me if any of my sites are down

- [ ] Add intergration to Outlook to notify me of upcoming meeting

- [ ] Add traffic service to tell me if commute time is longer than expected (if COVID ever ends)

- [ ] Maybe quote of the day or breaking news?
