Hi,

I made this prototype in a month.

Tailwind CSS + Php 1 index.php + Mysql 1 table.

Crawlers/Scrapers for extracting events have been something interesting for me last years. I spent so much time working on tech to extract them, machine learning, crawlers, scrapers, etc.... Poor results or too much results ... other story.

September I rethinked everything, human+automatic sources, and I got this.

airovic.com Availabe in USA: San francisco, Los Angeles, NYC and Miami. And EUROPE: Berlin, London, Madrd, Barcelona.

I'm fucking happy. I just made and completed my proposal for a crowdsourced agenda of things to do. MVP done. In some ways I'm free. (Spend 5 years with other prototypes, I even added bayesian, spotify api, flights and airbnbs ...) I'm happy with this last version, based on an excel of 400 urls, ~40 urls per city recommended by locals.

Btw, Events are not fake!! all real. 5 people working on this curating events, + 78 custom scrapers have got 30k legitimate events. airovic.com/stats.php you see databases.

I would appreciate any feedback.
