EventSphere

The mission of EventSphere is to centralise UK event information while providing a personalised experience and an element of community engagement.

This is achieved through a custom onboarding flow, a personalised event recommendation dashboard, a group chat for users to connect, and event email alerts for new events matching user interests, so they never miss out on opportunities.

Key features

Onboarding and personalisation

• Detailed onboarding flow that captures interests so users get a strong starting experience.
• Interest-driven recommendations on the dashboard.
• Email alerts triggered when new events match a user's saved interests.

Core event features

• Events page with a visual map, filters, paginated results, and a near me option.
• Dashboard with interest recommendations and location-based results.

Community engagement

• A shared chat channel where all logged-in users can participate for community engagement.

Authentication and user accounts

• Custom Better Auth sign in and sign out pages with OAuth logins.
• Login pages remember the last used login method and surface it in the UI.
• Password reset flow that sends users an email.
• Settings page for configuring user properties and interests.
• Public profile pages to help users learn more about others while using the group chat.

Tech stack

• Next.js / React for a full-stack setup with server-side rendering and API routes in a single repo.
• pnpm for fast, space-efficient dependency management.
• TypeScript 5 for type safety and to match industry best standards.
• Tailwind CSS v4 + shadcn/ui for a usable, accessible, consistent design system with customisable components.

A daily cron job is run that uses the public Ticketmaster API to fetch UK event data and keep the database updated.
