Nirbai – map first event platform
One of my first projects after discovering the power of coding was to build an event aggregator in my city. The first version was very basic, built in python’s Tkinter. After moving to a bigger city where everything was new, the problem became a bit different. I didn’t know where all the venues were at, so I had this idea to put various events on the map. Since I was mostly interested in parties at that time we’ve also connected the events to Soundcloud API. That version didn’t live long. When I got older parties were not in my interest anymore. So when my companion showed me the vast amount…

In the maker’s words, at launch
One of my first projects after discovering the power of coding was to build an event aggregator in my city. The first version was very basic, built in python’s Tkinter. After moving to a bigger city where everything was new, the problem became a bit different. I didn’t know where all the venues were at, so I had this idea to put various events on the map. Since I was mostly interested in parties at that time we’ve also connected the events to Soundcloud API. That version didn’t live long. When I got older parties were not in my interest anymore. So when my companion showed me the vast amount of diverse events available on Facebook, we’ve restarted the project in a new form and design. Just before launching it, Facebook got in into the infamous data scandal which made them close the public facing event API. The whole app was dependent on it, so I just let it go… 7 years later, I decided to revive it. Here it is today with numerous cities and events including the music player: nirbai.com On the top you can select cities, categories and time of the day. In the bottom left you have the music player with venues (accessible in landscape view on mobile). You can switch between tracks, artists and venues (events). If you share your location, it will sort in the events based on your proximity. You can also search in specific area after clicking on one of the events on the map. Saved events currently only live in localStorage, no cross device support. One can also do text based search for finding specific keywords in event descriptions. Hint: you can also search by zipcode. Looking forward to your thoughts!

- MFmy first ever coding project (7bks.com)2010 · ▲25
Hey HN. I've just launched my very first webappp and would love your feedback. http://www.7bks.com It's a book list sharing website - kind of like playlists for bookworms. The site is built on pyton/appengine - and I learned to code in under 4 weeks to build the site. There's more details on the background of the site here: http://www.7bks.com/blog/179001 I've also published the full Python code for the site here: https://gist.github.com/670034 Feedback is really important to me and I want to work hard to make the site better so any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

- MWmy weekend project, a "framework" for IRC apps/bots2011 · ▲24
This is a little project I've been working on for a while in order to better learn Python. Although IRC may not exactly be the most exciting medium, I still find it to be fun and useful, this interest lead me to writing a bot. In doing this I realized that what would actually be more interesting would be if I had a framework. There may already be such a thing, certainly there are IRC libraries, but I don't know if they're well-suited to deploying bots. At any rate if for no other reason than the fact that I am relatively new to programming and eager to learn I decided to build a framework.…
- IBI built a hub to centralize and access all event data effortlessly2025 · wander-app.fr · ▲5
Hey HN, My twin brother and I developed Wander, an event distribution hub, during our final year at a French engineering school. Wander is a real-time event distribution API for platforms aiming to enhance user experience and drive upsell opportunities. Access monetized events across Europe and seamlessly integrate them into their platform. Originally, Wander started as an app helping users discover events happening around them via an intuitive map and feed. You can still explore this experience on our website: https://wander-app.fr/explore. We’d love to hear your feedback or…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
