Show HN: A website to track live music attendance TL;DR: I built a website that allows users to track the concerts they've been to. If you have strong opinions about engineering/design or how shows should be tracked (festivals, venues, etc...), I'd love to get your input! For the past ~5 years, I've been tracking the shows I attend on my personal website ( https://ift.tt/kWDU6fx ). It's fun to see things like distance traveled and how many times I've been to certain venues. I know many friends who also track their shows through notes, ticket stubs, Excel, etc... It always bummed me out that I couldn't pore through their concert data myself... showcount.com is my solution to that desire. It's essentially a public version of my old personal website, where anyone can make an account and manage a show list (mine is https://ift.tt/6S1fUND ). I'm currently on the lookout for other live music lovers and/or data nerds to try out the site and give opinions on various design choices. If any of the following topics are of interest to you, please reach out! - How should venue name/location changes be handled? - How should music festivals be handled? - I have an initial version of an AI parser for loading in existing show lists; how can this be made more robust? - What else should have first-class tracking support (e.g., friends in attendance)? As an aside, this project is also my first experiment with full-on vibe-coding / harness-engineering. I began the project with Cursor and then switched to Claude Code. I've been programming for the better part of a decade, mostly Python and Java. Full-stack development is relatively new to me. I include the tech stack below. Most decisions were made pragmatically based on what I thought would get me to a first version of the site as quickly as possible. - Next.js web app hosted on Vercel - Fast API backend service (for the AI parsing) hosted on Railway - Supabase - Observability through Axiom (logging), PostHog (analytics), and Sentry (monitoring) - Clerk for user authentication - Google Maps API for venue locations - Claude API for the AI parser - Terraform for infra-as-code https://ift.tt/whRByJj April 9, 2026 at 12:42AM
