Have you ever wanted a one-stop shop just to see house/techno events for the Chicago area? I know, right? Resident Advisor is an awesome resource for that but they also have news articles, release information, and a whole bunch of other information. What if you could JUST get event listings? Maybe allow you to save events you're interested in?
This is a straight-forward web app that scrapes event listings from the Resident Advisor events page for the Chicago area. Events are re-displayed in simple tiles and allow users to save events. Once events are saved, they can add a note about an event, if they choose to.
- Go to the webpage: https://enigmatic-stream-99192.herokuapp.com/
- Click on
SCRAPE NEW EVENTS
in the nav bar to retrieve new event listings - New event listings will appear as tiles below
- If you want to save an event, click on the
save event
yellow button on that event tile. The event will now live in theSaved Events
section. - To view your saved events, click on the
Saved Events
section of the navbar. In there you will see a list of all the events you saved. - To save a note for an event, click on the
Add Note
button on the event tile. A pop-up appears and allows you to write a note and save it to the event.
