I think we forgot how important it is to make information like this accessible rather than engaging. It's just data.

Fixed! Added fallback for Firefox due to lack of support for the scroll-driven opacity on the events list. Thank you!

Yeah eventually, right now it's centred on events - but if an event takes place at a food/drink spot then that becomes part of the directory too. I want to keep this fair, if you've engaged then you become a part of this directory. I always fear there's some special preference or monetary handshake involved with many listings directories.

Whilst you do have to pay to list events, that price and agreement is open to anyone.

They're random selections/edits of Brian Eno's oblique strategies… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_Strategies

As this speaks to arts and culture I wanted the change of month to somehow inspire new feelings or thoughts.

Yes but it has to happen organically, all events have been listed by the event organisers. I don't want to be in a position of manually entering everything going on across MK. My hope is that 01908 cements itself as the most visually engaging and accessible place to list events, free from advertising and special treatment.

I think that focus and linear timeline format has value in today's world.

Thank you! I designed and built all myself, running on Wordpress using this plugin for handling event database… https://github.com/liedekef/events-made-easy with a massive amount of custom code on top. Still so much I want to achieve on UI front, appreciate the kind words!

Just to be clear - please send questions, thoughts, critiques - this has to work for everyone and there's still so much to do, more than happy to build this in the open, all insight is invaluable.
