The city page already lists the public shows, jams and drop-ins of the week. These tools put that list where your community is: a Discord or Telegram channel every Monday, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit or WhatsApp.
They use only public events. A sandbox or a private event is never in them, and we never name a person. Show and venue names appear as the groups typed them.
