Impressive, and seems to solve the problem of "hat weird portal am I using today to see if anything is up around here". Still looks a little like a beta, but does all I want.…
cyxxon on HNVery quick, simple UI - I like it! Where do you pull the event data from? Btw, you should look into adding a custom icon when bookmarking on an iphone. At the moment it just…
amit_m on HNGood job! Love the simplicity. Current state of event discovery is rubbish and so fragmented across sites and categories of event. Just had a look at my home city (Edinburgh) and…

UX is bare and lacks clear event details

I don't understand why you're so down on yourself in the title? Yet another? What other ones are there? It's not like it's a saturated market. Like the options in my city…
mattmanser on HNI believe you might be getting facebook data which is fine but has the side effect that "styling" is lost. I.e. this…

Shareable URLs for searches

Nice work!. Some UX feedback here, I'd make sharable urls more obvious. In detail: - I enter to the website and I have to change the location and press "see events", this is ok.…

Date filter and wider date range
From 2 comments
Need a date filter
khc on HNWhat is the date-range this is using? I am only seeing events for the next few days. Is it possible to expand into the future so I can make future plans?

How to change the search radius

How should I use this product? I know there isn't much going on in my town, but I'm interested in events within, I don't know, 100 miles of me. Is it assumed that I should create…
