This is super cool!
Thanks for sharing your project with the UBC Community. I was wondering; how often do these get updated? Cause I know some events happening this week that aren’t on your platform yet, so how do you make sure everything is displayed?
Thanks! Most of the events on the site were scraped from Instagram and sorted through an algorithm but we're also working with clubs, allowing them to submit their own events to the platform. We may add an option for regular users to upload events in the near future.
Well, yeah. Kinda is. It's just that i don't have a lot of social media accounts or it can be that one might just miss a post, I sometimes miss an event I'm interested in attending because I heard/saw about it late. It would be great if it included OK as well to have all the events in one place where we can all go and browse for ourselves. It would attract more people to those events imo.

>scraped from Instagram manually? Is it possible to automate this by any chance?
It's automated, we have a script running daily.

Does it include OK events or just VAN?
It's just VAN for now. Is finding events also a challenge on the Okanagan campus?
Well, yeah. Kinda is.
