Tech

Single index.html file for the site itself -- no framework, no build tools, no runtime dependencies. The ingest pipeline is a small Node script that prepares the data.

• Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS
• CSS custom properties for theming
• Hosted on GitHub Pages with custom domain
• Node-based ingest pipeline under ingest/ (see ingest/README.md)

Data sources

Event data is built into data/events.json by a pipeline that pulls from multiple sources every few hours:

• roguevalleylivemusicnightlife.com/musiclist.txt -- pipe-delimited volunteer-maintained list, the backbone of the listings
• Belle Fiore, Grizzly Peak, and Roxy Ann Winery -- their own published WordPress / Tribe Events calendar feeds
• The Talent Club -- scraped from talentclublive.com/live-music/
• The Black Sheep Pub (Ashland) -- read from schema.org Event JSON-LD on theblacksheep.com/events/ (covers their recurring Open Mic, Celtic Session, and Karaoke nights)
• Travel Ashland -- Tribe Events ICS at travelashland.com/events/category/music/?ical=1, filtered to actual music programming (Lithia Park Bandshell summer concerts, Ashland Armory events, etc.)
• SOU Localist -- public JSON API at events.sou.edu/api/2/events for music events at Southern Oregon University venues

The pipeline trust-orders the sources, de-duplicates shows that appear in more than one feed (volunteer list wins on overlaps), and writes the result to a same-origin data/events.json. The site reads that JSON directly with no proxies. If events.json is unavailable for any reason, the site falls back to the old proxy + musiclist.txt snapshot path.

Refresh runs every 4 hours via a GitHub Action (.github/workflows/refresh-data.yml). Commits only land when the actual event content changes.

Running locally

Open index.html in a browser. No server needed.

To re-run the ingest pipeline locally:

cd ingest
node merge.mjs              # fetches live sources
node merge.mjs --offline    # uses the local musiclist.txt snapshot only
