Look for the latest build for your operating system in the Assets at the bottom of the latest release.
On Android, look for the FOMOcal x.x.x.apk, download it to your phone and side-load it.
If you've never installed an app via side-loading, you'll probably first have to enable that in your Security settings, where it's called installing apps from unknown sources or similar.
On Windows, download the FOMOcal x.x.x win-x64.zip and unzip it where you like.
It should run out of the box on recent Windows versions. If it doesn't, make sure you have the
.NET 10 Runtime installed.
Note that the first app start may take quite long and require internet access to
download an embedded browser in the background.
You don't have to trust the uploaded bits. You can review the source and build from it yourself, targeting either Windows or Android using the .NET SDK.
If building on Windows, you can simply run the publish.cmd scripts found in the respective Platforms folder for your target.
Get the current source from the Code download widget above - and that for older releases from one of the github-generated Source code archives in the Assets at the bottom of each release.
TL;DR: Supporting small venues & upcoming bands by enabling easy grass-roots promotion.
Smaller venues hosting concerts often lack the professional promotion - or the social media guru - to spread their events where they're easily discovered. Instead, many of them rely on their patrons visiting their web page to find out about the upcoming program like we did in the golden noughties.
Yet your local music pub is vital to the diversity of the music ecosystem: Lesser known bands depend on it for a chance to play a gig - because for them, established venues are often out-priced or simply not interested. That's why it's not uncommon for smaller locations to carry the interesting fringes of the music scene.
This app is intended for you, the patron of the fringe side of music - to pick up the torch 🔥 and carry it for a little. Lend those cool little local spots a hand by promoting their events - that way keeping them and your scene alive, bringing people together for some good music and hopefully more great bands into your town in the future.
With FOMOcal you can support different scenes by sharing relevant venues and their events in easily digestible formats. Go figure out how to get event info from the web page of a concert location and share the config with friends. Or curate a list of good shows over the next few months for the music lovers yourself.
FOMOcal assumes you have no clue how web pages work or how to extract data from them - and tries to hand you the tools and enough help for them to let you succeed anyway.
