🎸 216.show

Aggregates concerts from local Cleveland venues in one website.

How it works

Get show data (🐍 Python)

• Extract and normalize data from local venues’ websites with Python
• Export that data per venue as JSON

Present show data (⚛️ React via Next.js)

• Use the JSON files to display events in chronological order
• Group events by week for improved readability/scannability
• Filter events by venue, selectable by user (via React Aria Components)
• Search events by artist, venue, or month with natural language processing
• Serve the page via Vercel when JSON files are updated
• Generate an RSS feed with all shows as feed items

Update daily

• At 5:00am ET, refresh data by re-fetching (and re-deploying on commit)

Search functionality

The app includes a powerful search feature with natural language processing capabilities. Example queries:

• "beachland aug 30" - Finds all events at Beachland venues and events on August 30
• "devo" - Returns "DEVOtional 2025" events (fuzzy matching)
• "girl" - Finds events with "Surfer Girl" and "Angelgirl EVA"
• "august" - Shows all events in August
• "beachland" - Lists all events at Beachland venues
