Cities are full of events—talks, workshops, concerts, meetups, kids’ programs, library classes, sports clubs. Each organizer promotes in their own silo (site, Facebook, scattered calendars). For residents, discovery is painful: you must know where to look, and you still miss things. For small organizers, reach is limited and ads are expensive. There’s no single, trustworthy “what’s on tomorrow?” view that cuts across sources and lets you filter by time, price, interests, and distance.
Build a citywide event aggregator that continuously pulls public events into one searchable feed. Core features that matter:
Unified feed by date (“Tomorrow,” “This weekend,” “Next 7 days”) with fast filters: category, free/paid, kid-friendly, indoor/outdoor, neighborhood radius.
Quality & deduplication: merge the same event listed on multiple sites; clear start/end times; map view.
Follow & alerts: save interests, receive daily/weekly email or push.
Promoted listings / “Top spot” for organizers
Ads
Pick one city. Manually collect 200–300 upcoming events from 20–30 sources (libraries, museums, clubs, meetups). Launch a simple site with date filters and categories. Add email sign-up and “submit an event.”
Run a $100 test: local Facebook/Instagram ads (“What’s on this weekend?”) plus post in community groups. Success = 1,000+ unique visitors and ≥10% email capture in two weeks.
