Could not find the tech conference "Joy of coding" (I am one of the organizers) but then again we do not offer discounts as we try to keep the tickets as low as possible. We do offer a small set of diversity and student tickets for a lower price.

Why make it simple, when you can make it complicated?

#24Nice idea. But I can’t navigate the site on my phone. For example: I try to press on any ”want ticket” link (I think it is a link since it is coloured and underlined) but my browser just selects it as regular text. Same with both Firefox and Safari.
Okay, I am on a desktop now and why are you using a span with an event listener as a link when an would do?

#25I’m seeing a list of conferences, and for each a popup is saying:
> Sorry, we don't currently have any offers for this event. Register your interest to be notified when something becomes available.

#27Relying on others to submit events seems like it could be difficult to maintain. Why not use apis to search engines to find events, then use an LLM to evaluate which need to be added, and automatically maintain a database that identifies events in various languages, then automatically uses contact information from those sites to work with those managing the events?

#28Great domain, and great idea! I've been looking for something like this for a while, I usually take a look at the lu.ma featured page but not everything is in there, hope one day your tool hast all of them. Congrats on the launch!
Thanks so much :-)

Thanks. The data is currently populated by scraping a bunch of sites and APIs. I added the manual 'add form' just in case my scraper missed some events.

Good question! I went this route as it prevents the default navigation behaviour for the event row (which has click handling on the parent element to navigate to an event page and this span overrides that behavior locally).
