Show HN: Tamber – The best local concerts, carefully matched to you (for iOS)
- ZitchDog 13y agoReminds me quite a bit of Timbre - with a curiously similar name as well. http://www.timbreapp.com/ http://www.timbreapp.com/
- alexirobbins 13y agoWe founded first, and they're a concert listing app, not suggestions. They're really cool guys though and they gave us some really helpful design advice :)
- ZitchDog 13y agoCool. It's a much easier problem to bite off, I suppose. Timbre works great for me, since my city is small enough that I can easily skim a few weeks of shows in a few minutes.
- alexirobbins 13y agoCan I ask where you live? We're really interested in tuning the suggestions to population/venue density :)
- ceph_ 13y agoThe only way to add bands you care about is individually by hand, or importing facebook likes?! I thought this was going to be an useful, like songkick. I guess not.
- alexirobbins 13y agoNo there's a quick 2-step signup system that makes picking artists really fast. We did a lot of polling and most of the people who go to shows weren't using iTunes on their phone :/ and they liked picking genres and artists. Good to get another data point though!
- bobf 13y agoCongratulations on launching. Suggestions seem like a good place to start. For revenue, you could partner with venues to offer discounted ticket purchases/admission, promotions, merchandise sales, etc.
- alexirobbins 13y agoThanks! Definitely something we're interested in, there's a great startup here in SF called WillCall that is working with venues to sell last minute tickets too. They rock!
- gylee 13y agoThe app looks great and has a very slick interface. Are there any plans to add stuff like sorting shows by price?
- alexirobbins 13y agoDefinitely! We're working on improving our ticket price info right now so we can know when shows are sold out etc.
- forgodandgold 13y agoReally like the interface and functionality! Great job. Think you'll eventually branch out to other kinds of ticketed events (theatrical productions, what have you) using the same basic format and algorithms?
- alexirobbins 13y agoThanks! and welcome to hn - We're very focused on live music, but that would definitely be a cool service!
