Ruby Script for Email Notifications (Gmail version)

[baurzhaan]

Hi and thanks to everyone who’s reading this! 🙌

As part of my Ruby learning journey, I crafted this simple script to explore real-world automation.

The script checks the end-of-security support dates for various software products by fetching data from endoflife.date. It compares those dates to the current date and sends email notifications via Gmail (using an app password) when products are approaching or have recently passed their end-of-security date.

I would like to thank the creators of the endoflife.date service for providing such an easy-to-use and valuable resource.

PS. Comments and recommendations for improvement are always welcome!

This looks interesting, but we already support a calendar that can be subscribed (and probably configured to be sent as an email somewhere). Usually much more simpler to subscribe using that.

This looks like a very early tool, but we maintain a list of Known Users on the wiki. Will be happy to add this there once this gets a stable release or some traction.
