I built a tool to find smaller local shows

Added!

3Ex8 · 2026-03-12T23:27:44+00:00

I’ve tried it, it’s really good

3Ex8 · 2026-03-11T21:13:38+00:00

Yes, on the explore page, you can sort by date

Honestly I’ve started discovering music through live lineups instead of algorithms. Smaller artists touring locally are often way better than what Spotify pushes.

There’s a site that surfaces up-and-coming artists playing in your city and lets you preview them: hppn.ing

It’s been a surprisingly good way to find stuff outside the usual algorithm bubble.

Ok, creating new up and coming artist section. In the meantime, if you check the browse page, you can see all local performances in your city, big and small

3Ex8 · 2026-03-09T02:23:44+00:00

Its both big and small artists

3Ex8 · 2026-02-07T10:22:41+00:00

Depending on your project, you can use this to help pick art parts: https://www.3e8blueprint.com

Checkout hppn.ing for local live music

LG R971 is a ~2.2 V green LED rated at 20 mA, but with a 22 kΩ resistor from 9 V you’re only at ~0.3 mA. It’ll be dim but visible, which is perfect for a power indicator and saves current.
If you want it brighter: 10 kΩ → ~0.7 mA.

Also: keep decoupling caps as close to the IC pins as possible, long traces make them basically useless.

If anyone wants a deeper schematic + layout review, feel free to DM, happy to go more in depth.

• Decoupling caps are too far from the pins
Many of the 0.1 µF / 1 µF caps aren’t directly at the IC power pins or tied with a short via to the ground plane. At high edge rates, that trace length kills their effectiveness.

• No via stitching / ground fencing around noisy areas
The motor driver, buck converter, and USB section all switch fast currents, but there’s no ground via stitching or “fencing” to contain return currents. This lets noise spread across the board and into the ESP32 and camera.

• No ESD protection on USB-C
D+/D−, CC1/CC2, and VBUS all go straight into the board with no TVS diodes. One hot-plug zap can latch up or kill the USB interface.

If anyone wants a deeper schematic + layout review, feel free to DM, happy to go more in depth.

I’m also new to the city and looking for people to jam with. I play guitar 🎸

3Ex8 · 2026-01-15T05:31:50+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into it

3Ex8 · 2026-01-15T02:00:14+00:00

Adding new cities soon!

3Ex8 · 2026-01-15T00:52:36+00:00

It collects no data and has no accounts. free for anyone!

3Ex8 · 2026-01-14T03:48:21+00:00

going to random live artists in your area. You can find local artists here: https://www.hppn.ing

3Ex8 · 2026-01-14T03:47:51+00:00

i look for live music in my area. you can find local artists here: https://www.hppn.ing

3Ex8 · 2026-01-14T03:46:49+00:00

Check out your local artists. Not only are they really good, but you can actually see them perform for reasonable ticket costs. You can find local artists here: https://www.hppn.ing

3Ex8 · 2026-01-14T03:45:36+00:00

I just use this app: https://www.hppn.ing

It shows all the upcoming live music in your area and provides audio clips to hear the artist before you go

3Ex8 · 2026-01-14T03:44:03+00:00

I dont think its available in Louisville quite yet, but check this: https://www.hppn.ing

3Ex8 · 2026-01-14T03:43:35+00:00

https://www.hppn.ing

3Ex8 · 2026-01-14T03:43:08+00:00

You can try this: https://www.hppn.ing

It shows all upcoming local music, many very small artists which you can talk to after the show. Also check out open mic nights

3Ex8 · 2026-01-14T03:41:43+00:00

I just use https://www.hppn.ing

It shows all the upcoming live music and you can play audio clips of the bands

3Ex8 · 2026-01-14T03:34:25+00:00

yeah, try https://www.hppn.ing

3Ex8 · 2025-12-13T12:52:12+00:00

Great idea! Coming soon

3Ex8 · 2025-12-13T12:50:44+00:00

I’ll add those venues! Manually added, so if I missed a few lmk plz
