🤝 For Developers

If you’re comfortable with code, you can help improve the site:

The site uses Hugo (static site generator) and aggregates events from JSON data files.

❓ Questions

Q: Why isn’t [specific event] listed?
A: We only show events from sources we can automatically access (Library, Board of Education, etc.). We’re working to add more sources.

Q: Can I submit my event?
A: Not yet — we’re exploring ways to accept community submissions while keeping spam out.

Q: Where do I RSVP or register for events?
A: Contact the event organizer directly. We don’t handle registrations.

Q: Who runs this site?
A: Bayonne residents who wanted an easier way to find local events. It’s a volunteer project.

💰 Financial Support?

This site costs almost nothing to run (it’s hosted for free on GitHub). We don’t accept donations — just spread the word instead!
