- zaatar 19y agoPlease consider supporting OpenID logins.
- twism 19y agoWill do... And probably will in addition to the regular login
- staunch 19y ago+ The comments count ("5 comments") isn't a link to the comments, unlike most sites, so that's unintuitive. + The error message "Phrase Erorr!" had me cracking up because I'm pretending it's intentional? + Everything is a bit too dark for this computer's dimming LCD. + Signup text inputs should probably have a maxlength attribute to reduce resubmissions. Not for security of course. It'd be neat if signup was identical to the way login works.
- twism 19y ago- comments link will be implemented - i need to hire a witty copywriter - i will bump up the contrast - will add maxlenght to text input sorry my replys sound short... Im reading and replying on my mobile phone thank you very much for the feedback!
- danw 19y agoIm taking the weekend off I've learnt from experience that you should take the time off before shipping the app. That way you're there to gather the feedback, do the bugfixes. Then try to do a second release within a week with a few little extra features that have been requested to show the community you listen to them. Nice site, keep up the good work.

- natrius 19y agoWhy would someone use this instead of Facebook or upcoming?
- immad 19y agoI am guessing because fb is limited to private events generally and upcoming is still only really used by tech demographic (at least in London) and doesn't have a digg/reddit like voting structure. I am also thinking he only did this idea to learn and test it out rather than as a serious business venture but then he should still have done a more unique concept since their are plenty out there....
- twism 19y agoIts supposed to be really fast and to the point to find events posted not by olny organizations, But events posted by individuals who are in the know....djs, bartenders, event promoters, etc... or if a you and/or a group of friends are hitting up a local bar or restaurant
- leisuresuit 19y agoCool. Did you use web.py to make this?
- twism 19y agoNope... Java (please dont stone me)
- jsjenkins168 19y agoHmm.. Looks like GWT?
- sethjohn 19y agoI'm sick and tired of Reddit-knockoff social vote-on-something sites, the idea is simplistic and derivative, I can't imagine taking advice from 14 year old internet trolls about what I should do with my time... ...and yet, for reasons I can't fully explain, I really liked it! It's simple, local, and with the opportunity for vicarious thrills imagning other's experiences... My only suggestion is that a site like this (more than Reddit/Digg/YCnews/etc) would benefit from having multiple different groups or interests to filter with. Maybe front page is most popular events all around, but you can filter the list to show only the most popular events by music, or bicycling, etc. Nice work, looks like it could become something great.
- twism 19y agothanks!
- gyro_robo 19y agoI see event #2 is "Drinking beer". So in the "Search for events" I type "beer". Sorry we didn't understand what you meant by search for events beer, try using "in beer" So I search for "in beer". Search result "for events in beer" yeilded 0 match(es) Keep working on it.
- twism 19y ago"with beer" now works
- gyro_robo 19y ago"with" is a broken idea. It should be implied. Scrap "with" and make keywords work by themselves.
- twism 19y agoi cant differentiate between a venue or a keyword in the description of the event without a predecessor to what the user is searching for. I understand that users are used to using a search query by typing a keyword and relevant results come up. but i've used a different approach... by typing a phrase as you would say it when filling the blank "Search for events __________"...
- gyro_robo 19y agoIt doesn't have to discriminate between an "in" or a "with" -- I'll do that. When I type "beer", and it gives me no results instead of everything with "beer" in it, it's broken. When I type in the FULL title and it gives me zero results, it's broken. The first upcoming event is "Block party", and neither that, nor "block", nor "party" yield results. I don't want "in" party or "with" party, I want everything that says "party". > I understand that users are used to using a search query by typing a keyword and relevant results come up Yes, so if your site doesn't work that way, guess what's broken? Hint: It's not the users. Including "with" or "in" as an extra feature is one thing, but requiring it just makes it look like your site's broken.

- andreyf 19y agoWould be nice if there was a way to filter by just one city... NYC, for example. Maybe make it like craigslist?
- twism 19y agoi was thinking about that... in the form of nyc.theother9to5.com... i could implement that in no time
