Natural-language community infrastructure for arts and music organizers

Co-founded, co-built, and operated a natural-language community-calendar platform for DIY arts and music organizers. A July 2017 production snapshot records 1,846 users, 16,142 posts/events, and 35 city-region keys with at least 50 posts.

What was emerging: DIY organizers needed lightweight ways to distribute events and maintain community visibility across scenes without relying on one centralized editorial calendar.
What became usable: A natural-language, collaboratively editable event system that turned community vocabulary into followable keyword calendars and organizer-facing distribution workflows.
