Limitations

1. Scalability: Handling a large number of concurrent users or events. As the user base or event count grows, the performance and responsiveness of the page could be affected.
2. Accessibility: Event page is accessible to users with disabilities. Meeting accessibility standards and providing alternative methods of interaction for individuals with different needs.
3. Purchasing: Adding a ticket purchasing option. Allowing users to create events that have ticket purchasing options when registrating for an event.
4. Third-party integrations: To deploy on Heroku, costs money to run the website. Adding in different dynos also require money. Rate limits, data access restrictions, or changes in API functionality can impact the event page.
5. Event management features: Implementing certain features; such as reminders, notifications, or advanced event customization options. Incentives and efficiency when creating and managing an event.
6. Security: Implementing security measures to protect user data, prevent unauthorized access, and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
