Building Happening - a platform to discover events around you
Hello everyone,
My name is Brian, and I’m currently building Happening, a platform designed to help people discover events happening around them and share experiences with others.
The idea came from a simple problem: many great events happen around us, but people often don’t hear about them in time or they get buried in social media feeds.
So I started building a space focused purely on events and real-life experiences - where people can easily see what’s happening, create events, and connect around them.
Yesterday I made the first post and created the first event on the platform, which was a really exciting milestone after months of building.
We’re also preparing for the Happening Grand Opening on April 3rd, and I’m currently gathering feedback to improve the experience.
If anyone is interested in checking it out or sharing thoughts, I’d really appreciate the feedback.
Also curious to hear from other founders here - what was the hardest part of launching your first product?

The problem is real; great events do get buried!
Curious how you're thinking about the discovery side, is it just location-based, or also interest-based? Balancing both could help you turn it into a winner. And how do you want to differentiate the product from what's already on the market such as Eventbrite, Meetup, or Luma?
