Every event in the city,
on a single living map.
ScenesLIT pulls scattered listings from every ticketing app into one warm, browsable map, so finding something to do tonight takes one glance, not five open tabs.
Five tabs open, just to find one Saturday night.
The city's nightlife is real, but it's scattered. A comedy set lives on one app, a gig on another, a workshop somewhere else entirely. There was no single place to simply see what's happening near me, tonight.
Discovery had become a chore of cross-checking apps that don't talk to each other, each with its own map, its own filters, its own idea of "near you."
What if every event simply lived in one place: a map?
Not a feed to scroll. A place you recognise. Posters pinned where the night actually happens, clustered by neighbourhood, browsable by date.
Small decisions that make a map feel alive.
Posters that group themselves.
Hundreds of events would drown a map. So markers collapse by neighbourhood into little fanned stacks of poster art, each tagged with a live count. Zoom in and they bloom apart. The density of the night becomes something you can read at a glance.
A calendar that knows which nights are busy.
Every day carries a dot for activity and a tap reveals its line-up. Planning ahead feels like flipping through a what's-on guide. The busy weekends light up before you even pick one.
Tonight, always one glance away.
A single dock anchors the experience: today's date, how many events are on, and the next one worth leaving the house for, with the calendar one tap away. It's the heartbeat of the whole interface.
Dark mode, for when the city actually wakes up.
Nightlife happens after dark, so the map dresses for it. The whole palette of tiles, roads, water and chrome shifts to a low-glare night theme that's easier on the eyes at 11pm. Tap the moon to switch.
Designed for desktop and mobile, in the same breath.
The map had to feel native whether it filled a monitor or sat in one thumb's reach. Every screen was drawn twice, and the floating dock was the bridge that let one mental model work at both sizes.
Six iterations, from gray boxes to a living map.
Nothing here arrived fully-formed. Each pass kept what worked, threw out what didn't, and earned the next idea: wireframe to shipped product across six visible steps.
A solo project, taken end to end.
ScenesLIT started as a personal itch: there was no good way to see everything happening around me. So I designed and built the whole thing myself: the research, the interface, the map engineering, and the deployment at sceneslit.fun.
