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.

One of the best passion projects I've seen. Love that there's so many one-click deploy options.

Out of curiosity, why did you choose PHP for the backend?

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!

Mostly due to wanting to use Laravel, as it has a fantastic ecosystem.
