LikeLocal

Pick a mood and a time, get a walkable plan: live events and open venues near you, with walking times, on a map. Running for Austin and Portland.

DEPLOYED

What it is

You choose a vibe (adventurous, foodie, cultural, nightlife, live music or chill) and how much time you have. LikeLocal checks the weather, filters the city’s events and venues by category, ranks what is left by how well its energy, setting and food match the mood, and lays the walkable ones out with walking times between stops.

An explore map shows everything nearby by category, with a free-only filter. Events arrive from public listings by a scheduled ingest and venues are geocoded; adding a city is a registry entry and a seed.

What exists today

A private repository: Next.js with Postgres through Prisma, Mapbox maps and a scheduled event ingest. The live page answered on Railway on 3 November 2026, opening on Austin; the explore map below is from that day.

Not done

The source is private. Event coverage is only as good as the public listings it reads.
