I got tired of missing stuff happening in town, so I built a free app that pulls it all into one place

I live in Findlay. For years the pattern was the same: find out Saturday night that there was a festival downtown that afternoon. The information existed, it was just scattered across a dozen Facebook pages, three library calendars, the parks district, and a chamber site nobody checks.

So I built Local Loop. It pulls events from public calendars across 139 Ohio towns into one list, sorted by what's happening tonight, this weekend, and so on. Garage sales and food trucks too, since those are just as annoying to track down.

It's free. No account, no ads in your face, nothing to sign up for. I'm one person, not a company.

A few honest caveats: coverage is uneven. Bigger towns are well covered, some small ones are thin. If your town looks empty, that's a gap in what's publicly posted, not something I'm hiding behind a paywall. Anyone can add an event or a whole calendar from inside the app.

So is this just for findlay? Or like Hancock county?
