Show HN: San Francisco Library Events

A developer created a web app to make it easier to browse San Francisco Public Library events across branches on a phone, after finding the official calendar slow to use. The app lets users select preferred branches, swipe to archive events, and tap for details with a Google Calendar link.

Background

- SFPL stands for San Francisco Public Library, a citywide system with 27 branch libraries. - SFPL.org's official event calendar can be slow and hard to browse on mobile, especially for someone who wants to check multiple branches at once. - This is a Show HN post — a convention on Hacker News (HN) where makers share personal side projects for feedback, not a commercial launch. - The app lets users pick branches, swipe event cards to dismiss recurring events, and add events to Google Calendar — features the official site lacks. - The builder is an ordinary library user solving their own frustration, not a company or startup.
