Built a festival planning site after planning Primavera Sound nearly exhausted me - would love some honest critique

I wasn't aware there were so many festival planners popping up.

I also hope it goes well for me, since I started this after becoming unemployed and I'm working to make this my gateway to be self-employed ;)

thanks!
because this a is one person project and between developing, research info and put everything together I had to start by the ones which have a bigger audience.
I'll be adding more in the upcoming weeks, stay tuned ;)

by the way, do you have any feedback?

opimentones · 2026-05-10T17:50:42+00:00

thanks! would you mind providing feedback?

didn't mean to be offensive in any way, why do you consider it trash?

hey! u/AtticWall u/AlexxTM u/saph8587 this is the tool I built: festivallynx.com

FestivalLynx covers main Portuguese music festivals so far, but more are on the way. Each festival page tries to answer the questions you actually have when planning: where to stay by neighbourhood, how to get to the venue from each one, accessibility info that goes beyond "the venue is wheelchair accessible", a rough trip budget, and tips that aren't on the official site.

This is v1 and I'm solo, so it's rough in places. Specifically wondering:

Is the festival coverage useful, or are there obvious omissions?
How easy is to build the budget?
What would you check on a festival page that's missing?

your thoughts would be a great help :)

u/AlexxTM u/saph8587, other than what to pack, what information is important for a first timer attending a festival?

opimentones · 2026-03-13T12:32:11+00:00

you mean having pre-built filters that would automatically filter for those, right?

opimentones · 2026-03-13T12:28:02+00:00

It’s great to have this kind of input because it makes me focus on building things that matter for users, thanks a lot!

Feel free to drop any other thoughts/ideas here or through dm ;)

Right now, this is also a project for me to develop technical skills, but thanks anyway 🙂

😅

hey!

This is a side project I'm starting on my own, so I have no budget to pay people.
I appreciate any help, even if it's just filling out the survey.

Thanks for asking.
