What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

I just took a fortnight off work with the intent of getting away from my laptop, but accidentally ended up making a listings site for London's independent / arts cinemas. As far as I can tell no such thing currently exists, and I feel like it should.

Obviously the main thing is getting the listings data, which as far as I know (mostly) isn't readily available any other way that scraping the cinemas' websites, for which I set this up as a separate-ish project[1]

You should do all kind of events by event type, not just movies. Concerts, workshops, open lectures... london.eventhose.com. Then you should find volunteers for other cities to do the same.

Time Out should have long done that but instead they stopped their print edition.

Just finishing the London indie cinemas is an ongoing challenge! But yeah it'd be great to branch out to other places, and cover other types of events.
