tmnarayanon Show HN: Discover and listen to artists performing in your city this week

Thanks for the honest feedback. We've been discussing this in the office, and we agree!

If I can convince the team, next week we'll implement some new logic in the Parabola flow so that we select more from the middle of the popularity graph of concerts rather than the top.

tmnarayanon Show HN: Discover and listen to artists performing in your city this week

Thanks for taking a look! We decided to limit the initial launch and plan to add more cities next week, but that doesn't mean you can't have a playlist for your city now.

If you're interested, you can use the link below to clone the Parabola flow I used to create the playlists. You'll be able to create arbitrarily many playlists for cities of your choosing.

The only potentially sticky parts are that you'll need to apply for the Songkick API, and set up OAuth for your Spotify account, but otherwise it should just work out of the box.

tmnarayanon Show HN: Discover and listen to artists performing in your city this week

Hi HN!

I'm Trevor from Parabola.io. We're excited to show off Discover Local.

Music is really important to our team, and we look forward to helping others discover new artists and see more shows.

If you want to know a bit more about how we built this, I linked a post that goes into more detail down below. In short, we pull in concert data from Songkick, then compile song data and create playlists with Spotify before sending it all on to Webflow for display.

The best part is that Discover Local was built with absolutely no code over the course of a few afternoons!

Feel free to ask us any questions you might have!
