Could you build this?
Partial The UI and directory features are simple, but reliably scraping, normalizing, and refreshing daily event data across hundreds of disparate municipal venue websites across 51 metros is a major data engineering hurdle.
What it would actually take: A production version requires an automated scraping pipeline (Playwright/Scrapy or LLM-based web extractors) handling hundreds of fragile municipal and venue websites with deduplication and normalization pipelines, orchestrated on a workflow engine like Temporal or Airflow, alongside a standard Next.js and PostgreSQL frontend.
