I wanted to share this again since I've made some significant updates since I last posted it!The site now displays artist images and also has a map.In general I'm really pleased with the mobile UX, which I think is quite clean.Feedback appreciated and welcomed!

Thanks! It was something I always wanted - a last minute gig finder where you can immediately tell if you'd enjoy the vibe.
Thanks! I've considered expanding this to comedy events also.

Thanks! It's using Ticketmaster and, in the UK, one additional provider.
I hadn't heard of The Monospace Web but I can see the resemblance!
Thanks! I will do. My first impression of your site is that it has a really nice interface - doesn't seem to have comment threads; I wondered why?
Thanks! Is it a US / UK thing? "gig" probably enjoys more common usage in UK than concert or show.
Thanks! The countries available now are the ones with presence on Ticketmaster (and in the UK, one additional provider). If it proves popular I'll certainly look at scraping more ticket sites!

Hi guys, I stitched a few APIs together into a fun gig finder app and thought some of you might enjoy it. Warning - autoplay!
Can't we believe that life is a terrible cosmic mistake and still be pro-human?
It's a wonderful article but I can't accept the core argument.
Life is rare = life is precious is just a version of the naturalistic fallacy. You are entitled to believe that life is beautiful; you are equally entitled to believe it is a terrible cosmic mistake - acknowledging the rarity of life doesn't obligate you to change your belief.
Can you briefly describe your work flow? Are you exchanging information with Sonnet in your IDE?
Kid's getting way too much hate for what seems to be quite a cool project! Oh he "just" put a UI in front of Trellis? Yes. He did. You didn't.
Keep up the good work, gd3kr :)

I didn't read the article properly, obviously. Thanks for the responses.
“It’s very mysterious,” Murchison says. “This cancer was exposed to something that caused this very particular mutation, and has never been seen in any human cancer ever, and that seems to have stopped 2,000 years ago. We don’t know what that carcinogen is, and we’d love to. I guess it was probably something in the dogs’ environment? This is a very crazy idea and we don’t really believe it, but maybe ancient people who owned the dogs tried to treat [their tumors] with some kind of chemical?”
This feels wrong - surely particular carcinogens don't cause particular mutations. Isn't this just chance?
Many banks use a CDN, primarily for DDOS protection. This includes the actual online banking endpoints. E.g. Lloyds and Barclays (major UK banks) both use Akamai, as does American Express.
