Ask HN: Building an “event” site / vertical social network
I am an Artist first and then an Entrepreneur. I can do a lot of stuff on Wordpress and some on Drupal, but that's just about it.
I have secured a good domain name for Art Openings and I want to put together a site where gallery owners and Museums could post their own events and openings. At first I might have to see it myself and I am OK with it.
Is there a WP theme that I can use? Premium is fine.
Or a plugin? Premium is fine.
Or Drupal?
Or . . a wiki?
Or maybe I could do a vertical social network using NING or Discourse?
Needs not to be perfect, just needs to validate MVP.
Thank you for any and all suggestions.
Anything but Drupal. A good start, if your not a developer, and don't plan on building a custom solution from the ground up, start with: https://theeventscalendar.com/
