Filter search
Got a big old table of events and want to get to one in particular, quickly?
I was finding that process a bit annoying, so now there's a search icon at the top of the table. Click on that and you can quickly search through just any events you've already filtered (whether that's the list of events you're interested in, or events anyone has saved, or whatever it might be).
It will also search venues, so if you want to quickly see just e.g. Summerhall events, type that in and you’re done.
The search (both the general search and this filter search) is still not great – you have to be very exact with it. I have plans to improve it at some point.
Individual event pages and an everyone activity feed
Two great updates – really thrilling, the sort of thing where you might go “Wow, that's great!” or maybe “Huh, I’m a little surprised that was missing before”.
Each event now has its own individual page, where you can see its details as well as everyone who's bookmarked it: people you follow and people you don’t (but not private accounts of people you don’t).
And there’s an activity page option to just see everything anyone is up to (with the same private account caveat).
Enjoy.
Book Fringe!
I’ve added the Book Fringe! The free, bookshop-run, alternative literary festival, run by Edinburgh treasures Lighthouse Bookshop, Argonaut Books and Typewronger.
Whereas all the data for the other festivals comes from the (much appreciated) Edinburgh Festivals Listings API, I had to put Book Fringe events in manually, so – as with any process in which I involve myself – there’s an increased likelihood of error.

Logo and a festival view
Hey, there's a little logo in the corner instead of just the word 'Festies' in a stern but elegant sans serif. Thanks for the help, Tom Humberstone aka @tomhumberstone!
There's also a page where you can view all of a specific festival's events (and filter from there) like the Fringe, the Book Festival, and – you get the idea. Just click on a festival’s name in a listing. Or I made a page with a list of festivals, in case that’s useful.
Update: the site now has updates
