For people into music: Would you be interested in an app that lists music events in your area, where you can register yourself as going, and where people can apply to go with you?
What do you think would work well? What do you think the pitfalls might be?
- ptrhvns 2mo agoYes, I'd be interested.
- csh0 2mo agoThis exists for the electronic music scene, Radiate.
- d4ng 2mo agoWell, that’s good to know. Thanks.
- dpkirchner 2mo agoIt looks like Radiate is an app-mandatory secondary ticket marketplace, I might be looking at the wrong Radiate though.
- mrguyorama 2mo ago"Lists events in your area" is always the hard part. The bars in my city don't have public APIs. If you start small and local, you could maybe get buy in from some places, "Send this address an email with event details and I will help you get butts in the door!" Also if you build any app that lets you meet new people, especially new people with compatible interests, Match Group will buy you out and turn whatever you built into another tinder.
- d4ng 2mo agoThere is a number of centralised places for finding music events in London. None of them allow you to find people to go with. Regarding being bought out by Match: I wouldn't complain.
- grvdrm 2mo agoI’m interested but then I ask: who pays? Not cynically. Just, is this a hobby for someone? If so, awesome. In my town we have a WhatsApp org for local musicians that helps with gear exchange, gig promotion, collaboration, etc. Restaurants and bars and event spaces use a myriad of promotion vehicles. Other local businesses. The paper. Official announcements from the town. Other events. Etc. Same with the groups playing. The ways to find this stuff aren’t amazing but not so bad that I’m searching for another app on my phone.
- d4ng 2mo agoThere are multiple websites that list events in London. I have quite niche music tastes, and would pay a few quid per month for the opportunity to get in contact with people who want to go to the events I'm interested in.
- grvdrm 2mo agoLondon city or London and all surrounding small town areas? I’m outside NYC. Tons of apps in NYC market and I can’t imagine another. But the suburban market has fewer or none. My point was that even as an avid music fan, I don’t hear a lot of folks looking for another app for this but maybe I am way underestimating what’s possible.
- BoingBoomTschak 2mo agoLittle nitpick: people into music != people into live music.
- nicbou 2mo agoAn event newsletter in my area creates a telegram group for each event they mention, so that people can meet and go together
