A few years ago I started a small side-project (https://improvtonight.app) to help find shows at local improv theatres. I stopped updating it at the beginning of the pandemic, but have started brushing the dust off again. Along with in-person shows, I'd like to include an area for virtual shows, as I suspect those will continue to be produced at least in some capacity.

If anyone has any theatres or virtual shows they recommend adding, please let me know either here or via email (found in my profile).

One of my favorite virtual shows is by a team here in Chicago called Cigarette Sandwich (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/931265538). I think they've adapted really well to the virtual medium.

I think this is a great example of "scratch your own itch". Rarely are frustrations so specific that they don't impact multiple individuals. SEO aside, you're benefiting those who come after you asking the same questions.

About two years ago I started writing specific technical posts that I had to piece together from various sources. Although it's primarily for my own selfish reasons to reference later, I've seen quite a lot of traffic from folks who are trying to find the same solutions. Not too unsurprising, the key here seems to be the more niche a post, the better it performs compared to posts that cover broader topics.
