Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I've been working on this for the last year.

Pretty cool. Is this a passion project or do you have "defeat Ticketek" aspirations?

Thanks! It's definitely a passion project, but if I can provide an open source alternative to players like Ticketek, that would be a nice win.

It's always refreshing seeing a feature-rich project coming from a single person, so thanks for working on this.

I know that this is a tangential question, but how much did the domain cost? I'm curious as someone who often considers building personal projects solely due to domain novelty, and a domain like hi.events seems like it would cost a small fortune!

Sorry, missed this comment. Thanks you! The domain was ~$120 USD, if I recall correctly. Still a lot for a domain, but not as much as I would have expected for a premium domain.
