New Event Form to Pull Request

[chantastic]

I have a wild idea that i don't immediately now how to do.

I wonder if we could use Netlify Forms and Functions to create a New Event Form that takes details for an event and opens a new event PR.

The value I see is making it making valid event creation a little more accessible to folks not super familiar with Git, GitHub, Netlify, or just plain prefer using a web form.

Could be a fun journey journey after all the core functionality is achieved.

I really, really dig this. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have to fork, clone, commit, push, pull request just to add an event, and that's really not approachable.

I'm circling back to this with a little bit more information.

I think we might be able to use the GitHub API for "create file" to achieve this. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22312545/github-api-to-create-a-file

The form would have to do the work of authenticating the user first. Once authenticated, I think we can handle the rest with Netlify Forms: https://www.netlify.com/products/forms/
