My two-year-old is obsessed with tractors. There's a farm near us that does tractor rides. We've made it to exactly zero of them, because I always find out the day after (best case scenario!) I live in Surrey (UK), there's always something on, but I never find it until it's too late. Quiz nights, craft fairs, a wine shop down the road doing fondue evenings everyone knows about except me. The stuff isn't exactly hidden, it's just massively scattered across all the local venue websites. And half the time it isn't even a proper listing, just a line buried in a paragraph somewhere: "toddler group, Wednesdays 9am, all welcome." So I built Near Here (https://nearhere.events). It crawls millions of small UK venue websites (pubs, village halls, libraries, churches), reads the messy human-written pages, and turns them into actual structured events you can search. Put in where you are, see what's genuinely on nearby. Just me, no investors. It runs on Cloudflare and some cloud compute, mostly covered by startup credits. The challenge is keeping running costs low enough to keep going once the credits run out. Have a poke around if you're in the UK. The most useful thing you can do is put your town in and tell me what it misses.
