In fact it's very silly, simple, but very useful too. I'm not explaining all the features well, but I hope you can get an idea of what the tool can do with the homepage.

Your feedback is gold!
Remember that we still have unlimited source of food and water, that should be enough to be happy and optimistic, but probably we need a world war (again) to value what we have now.
Remember when we were free to work in whatever we wanted, do whatever we wanted, go out or not, travel or not, spend hours on the internet doing things like discussing on hacker news with the fridge full?... good times...
72h later I came up with this. It's a prototype. What do you think? It's free to use / pay to remove branding.
Include one JS external script and the widget will pop up on your website.
I'm afraid about permissions, I just need read_only, but know the app is asking for full permission. I guess this is blocking new sign ups.
Privacy is well respected, everything is on stripe, nothing is saved. It's free. I would love to read your feedback!
Airovic is a team of humans+robots that will do the work for you going to all these sites (+40 per city recommended by locals), and gathering all information to show it together.
I would like to show publicly the sources used, but I'm afraid website owners won't like it, even if I send them traffic for free..
I cross fingers so airovic.com is the first place you check when you go to bathroom , working now on infinite scrolling :D
I already did complications version of this concept in the past, this time was like the final, Flash mode, do it, try it hard one more and time.
Technically, I felt in love with this project. Natural language processing + scraping + data mining and maintenance ... So, this time was from other angle, 1 index.php + 1 mysql events, and focus on getting data right, quickly, 1 monoth.
Songkick is giving me popularity, the only thing I add is event views (each visitor of an event +1). But I already added bayesians, apis, and shit that made me never ship. This time I want to focus really on user experience and quality data. Be patience and work a lot on SEO.
Grow it and sell it is the plan. The monthly costs are easy to absorb, and I'm the first I need something like this.
Airovic means tourist info in Papua.
Happy hour category is coming... Theater is the other.
I need to do some cleanup. Meetups are easy to get, but very low quality and uncategorized.
What do you think about the events categories? do you miss anything? Which ones of them you care about? Would you add any?
I agree with you, narrowed down will make everything sharper.
But I don't know, I need something like this, all-in-one-events, probably the issue are categories and curated information. First month has been very time consuming, but it's something we can go refinating.
I think events make it much easier to sell flights, hotels or other events tickets...
What do you think about the events categories? do you miss anything?
Kids probably is a good niche, the most difficult to get right.
I made this prototype in a month.
Tailwind CSS + Php 1 index.php + Mysql 1 table.
Crawlers/Scrapers for extracting events have been something interesting for me last years. I spent so much time working on tech to extract them, machine learning, crawlers, scrapers, etc.... Poor results or too much results ... other story.
September I rethinked everything, human+automatic sources, and I got this.
airovic.com Availabe in USA: San francisco, Los Angeles, NYC and Miami. And EUROPE: Berlin, London, Madrd, Barcelona.
I'm fucking happy. I just made and completed my proposal for a crowdsourced agenda of things to do. MVP done. In some ways I'm free. (Spend 5 years with other prototypes, I even added bayesian, spotify api, flights and airbnbs ...) I'm happy with this last version, based on an excel of 400 urls, ~40 urls per city recommended by locals.
Btw, Events are not fake!! all real. 5 people working on this curating events, + 78 custom scrapers have got 30k legitimate events. airovic.com/stats.php you see databases.
I would appreciate any feedback.
For me it's enough to see someone that is doing it. If he can do it, I also can.
But I think there is also something related with imagination, knowledge, learnings. I cannot imagine the infrastructure a 100M business requires. I guess that is why so many ex-googlers or ex-amazon, after quitting, build great things. They have seen it before.
So, I'm not interested in making tons of money, I'm just interested on WHY I make 4k instead of $100 or 40k.
- Too much projects at the same time - Starting but not finishing - Getting bored after project is built and not pursuing sales enough - checking twitter too often..
The site is working now, it was retrieving some localhost scripts.
I was just trying to get some feedback and to check if that document was interesting, because I was spending a lot of time on it.
For what I see, it seems Selenium does exactly the same, but I would choose this iframe solution (small-medium projects) anyway.
It's a super small tool that do the job.
Please, let me know if you can fully use airovic.com
But the airovic.com tool uses and external script, in the same server that provides http tunneling from same server, so I can modify headers and display everything on the iframe because it is under same domain.
Thanks for your comment!
