Local Event Aggregator with Local Based Suggestions #9

Open spearna opened 9 years ago

spearna commented 9 years ago

Elevator Pitch: Build a webapp that allows users to look up local events with local/datetime relevant suggestions. Ex: You use this app to find a late Saturday morning hiking meetup, it can then suggest a near-by food truck or restaurant since it'll be lunch after the hike.

Data Sources:

Events: - http://ourvalleyevents.com/ - http://www.rocketcitymom.com/ - http://www.huntsville.org/visitors/calendar/ - http://www.downtownhuntsville.org/featured-events/ - http://www.eventhuntsville.com/ - http://www.meetup.com/cities/us/al/huntsville/

Add-ons: - http://www.rocketcityfoodtrucks.com/ - http://foodieradar.com/ (not live yet) - https://twitter.com/hsvfoodtrucks

Tasks: - Automated script to scrape Events data sources and aggregate into easily usable experience - Insert into back-end database - Front-end: searchable / suggestion based event catalog.

Should also include meetup.com for meetup open to all, or give a link to the meetup signup sheet.
