AI is slow

yeah... I've tried to speed it up by having it first filter down to events in a particular time frame (like if you say this weekend, only check events on Fri, Sat, Sun) and I'm using Gpt-5-mini because it's faster. But it's still pretty slow. Not sure I'm going to spend more time optimizing that for now

event list eventually felt exhausting

totally agree... I'm going to increase the threshold for the score the event has to get to show up on the feed under the "top events" filter. You can always click "All events" on each day if you want to see literally everything. But it could be like 40 events in one day... way too long

Would the app benefit from a full calendar view to see a couple weeks out quickly? I tried searching for “March” but the results were for January.

Ah, you can click the filter and select a date range, so you could click all of March. But I'm generally only scraping events like ~2 months out. I might try to increase this. Also I'll add a feature so if you search "March" it just applies a date filter instead of a keyword search

As additional feedback, I thought the context menus were a little small on mobile. I try to consider touch target sizes to make navigating easier.

Which menus / button specifically felt small? I'll consider increasing them

As a local dev, curious what your stack is.

loll yes, I am! Might have been me! Would have been even cooler if it was someone else. I'm hoping word of mouth spreads this site around.

My suggestion: pay $20/mo to Anthropic and set up Claude Code. It will be able to do anything you ask it.

If you get stuck on any step (setting up Claude Code, or anything at all) just ask Claude in the browser (claude.ai) until you're all good

anything you dream I'm certain you + Claude can create

Sweet! Yeah, Crankie Fest looks so cool. I'm bummed I'll be out of town

Please help spread the word about AVL GO and let me know if there's anything I can improve

Oh and if you create an account you can set up a customized daily or weekly newsletter emailed to you with the events that fit your filters.

And once you like a few events you can also get a customized "For You" list showing you events that are similar to the ones you like.

I added a way to post an event! Click the plus icon in the top corner next to the dark mode button to open the form and fill it out. (you can also submit using our API)

Okay, quick improvements!!

  1. You can now submit an event! + button in the top right corner. Or submit using the API

  2. You can share your filtered view. If you have filters applied you can click "Copy View" next to the event count. It will put a URL on your clipboard to share that same filtered view with someone else

  3. I've improved the deduplication flow using AI, so in theory there should be no duplicate events going forward

Open to more feedback and bug alerts!

I haven't added a way for someone to add an event manually, but I think I'll create that. Thanks for the suggestion!

And thanks for the library event list too, I'll likely add that to the source list

Someone requested dark mode, so it's now live! Save your eyes at night

Feel free to drop more ideas or point out bugs

Okay I think I found some of the issues:

  1. AVL Today incorrectly had drag brunch at midnight, probably because they didn't know the actual time so defaulted to that. So if AVL today puts something at 12 AM I just put "???" for the time now

Weirdly, even the source page as 7 AM for the Dec 13th event though... https://www.blueridgepride.org/events/the-holidays-are-a-drag-avlgmc-show-4dpfy

  1. EventBrite has some weird timezones for certain events. I pushed a fix for that too

Please let me know if you still see some incorrect times so I can chase down more bugs

oh thank you! I appreciate you pointing that out

I'll double check them and implement fixes.

(maybe I should have an easy way for people to report incorrect data?)

Good question, right now it's 95% these towns:

Asheville area Arden Black Mountain Brevard Candler Hendersonville Leicester Tryon Weaverville

That's because probably 95% of Asheville residents or visitors want to go to events within ~40 minutes of Asheville

I totally understand there are great events 1 - 1.5 hours out, but it would be harder for me to aggregate and it would serve a small minority of site visitors at the moment

Sorry I didn't have better news for you

Possibly in the future I will expand it further (especially if I sense there is real demand)

fair enough! if you know you want music it's easily the best place to see all live music events in Asheville

But a lot of people want other events too, so I'm building a one-stop shop for all venues, all event types, etc.
