I made a web application for events happening in the Detroit area. Updates based on community feedback!

I wanted to update the community on the progress made on my web application showcasing happy hours, live music, trivia, sports, and other events that happen around the city on a given day. The feedback has been really helpful and I think EventsintheD has improved greatly from it. 2400 local people are using it now, I hope sharing this will encourage more feedback so I can continuing making this resource for the community better!

Nice. My suggestion is to have the list default sorted by time, earliest starting time at the top; search by time of day  would be useful as well.

A sort by time button would be super useful! I was a little confused when the page on my laptop showed a much different list of events than the page on my phone.

I've added a sort by time toggle at the top of the events list for anyone who would like to see the events by time.

I love it, but personally I don't consider happy hour an event, and it clutters up your page. Wonder what others think?

I haven’t been able to find a good database of happy hours before you posted this, so I think it’s worth having somewhere even if you want to separate it out.

I've also added a happy hour toggle that is outside of the main filter, so if you want to view everything that is going on outside happy hours, you can just turn the toggle on.

Awesome job! Not that I don’t love drinking but there’s a list of events in Detroit that doesn’t revolve around drinking. I think there’s board games, book clubs. But back to bar events mezcal has salsa classes. Detroit city wine has dancing. These would be good events to add!

I'm actively looking for more of these events (than say, happy hours) now, and have added lots of dancing nights, run clubs, and board/card game events.

Rather than only choosing one event to filter by, maybe change it to an multi-select filter to allow multiple things to be viewed at once. Example, I want to check all the boxes to see everything, except for happy hour.

I figured out how to do multi-select on the platform. The look and feel of it though is...lacking. I'm exploring other options on how to do this and hope to have something that works and feels intuitive in the next couple of weeks. Until then, I hope the toggles help.

Can you add Eastside to the locations list? I don't see anything for the Grosse Pointes, St. Clair Shores, or Warren area.

I've added the Grosse Pointes and St Clair Shores so far...still needing to find more events in these areas though! A question for everyone...should these cities be separated, or grouped into one "East" category like the comment suggested?

Thank you everyone for the feedback, keep it coming! The positive words from you all have really been motivation to continue making this something useful for the community, and I can't wait to see what the next iteration is going to be. In the meantime, feel free to join the newsletter where I send unique/great events on Monday for the weekdays and Friday for the weekends.
