🎸 216.show

Aggregates concerts from local Cleveland venues in one website.

How it works

Get show data (🐍 Python)

• Extract and normalize data from local venues’ websites with Python
• Export that data per venue as JSON
• Merge JSON files together as a .js array of objects

Present show data (⚛️ React via Next.js)

• Use the .js data file to display events in chronological order
• Group events by week for improved readability/scannability
• Filter events by venue, selectable by user (via Radix)
• Serve the page statically with GitHub Pages when data file is updated
• Generate an RSS feed with all shows as feed items

Update daily

• At 5:00am ET, refresh data by re-fetching, re-merging, and re-deploying
