Which sources does it support? Discoverability is a huge problem for smaller events, as most get posted on IG, and it’s hard to even find them through IG.

I started relying on a mix of Muse/ChatGPT/Gemini depended on which data sources I want to combine, as they all seem to have special deals with different sources.

It seems to use a (probably AI generated) list of common event sites, Instagram, and a few hardcoded ones related to the region (like Makeout Room). There's no de-dupe so you'll see tons of the same event copied across Eventbrite/Tixr/etc.

there is indeed a dedupe implemented! if there are specific bugs with it, please send them my way :)

at the moment, there is a fan out across social media accts from a few different platforms, relying mostly on co-posting to discover new accounts.

any particular events that you'd flag that I could do some eval against?
