🎸 216.show

Aggregates concerts from local Cleveland venues in one website.

How it works

Get show data (🐍 Python)

Extract and normalize data from local venues’ websites with Python
Export that data per venue as JSON
Merge JSON files together as a .js array of objects

Present show data (⚛️ React via Next.js)

Use the .js data file to display events in chronological order
Group events by week for improved readability/scannability
Filter events by venue, selectable by user (via Radix)
Serve the page statically with GitHub Pages when data file is updated
Generate an RSS feed with all shows as feed items

Update daily

At 5:00am ET, refresh data by re-fetching, re-merging, and re-deploying
