People miss local events because listings are scattered
People looking for nearby events—especially those who avoid social media—have to check a patchwork of social platforms, venue and city websites, newsletters, local publications, and flyers. Important details can be hidden behind logins or shared too late, so people miss events or spend time searching without finding a useful listing. Current workarounds depend on manually checking multiple sources rather than searching one calendar by time and location.
For local eventgoers and community members. Mentioned from Dec 2023 to Sep 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

I was at some event a couple weekends ago and an organizer came up to me saying that there was going to be an after and just check the Insta for the address, and I'm like... But I don't have that? Can't you tell me now?
