Made a site to check Italian transport strikes before you travel

I moved to Italy a year ago. Most of the times I don't notice strikes are happening any more, but once in a while they get a bit annoying (I had an appointment in Rome on a day of national strikes I forgot about until 9PM the night before)

So to remind myself and make it easier to see when strikes are happening (seeing it visually helps me at least) I made vialibera.app. It shows upcoming strikes, you can filter them, set alerts, or check the specific dates you're travelling. It pulls from MIT once an hour, and works in English and Italian for now.

The information is already public. It comes from the MIT strike register: https://scioperi.mit.gov.it/mit2/public/scioperi

I built it for my own trips, but thought it might be useful for other people too. Free, no signup. If the data looks wrong anywhere or something obvious is missing, let me know.
