Mic Check

I'm a huge fan of passion projects. And live music was always happening in my neighborhood. So I built a simple live-music aggregator in iOS to know where artists were playing and preview video of past shows.

Journey Mapping the Problem

Finding the day's live music events in my neighborhood was a laborious process.

The Problem

How It Works

How It Works

The Home Page

Neighborhood music events are scraped from venues websites, then listed on the home page.

The Event Detail Page

Drilling in summons artist and venue details as well as YouTube video for deciding whether to attend their show.
