Design a way to show multiple events on a place card

[brampitoyo]

My initial thinking on showing multiple events is to add a section on the bottom of the place card called “Up and coming events”.

When tapped, this section will expand to include:

• Day and date (except for “today” and “tomorrow”)
• Event title
• Event start time (don’t include end time, as this will clutter the UI)
• More info, which will open the event URL in the browser. This is the target that we want everybody to click on, so I’ve made it blue and underlined just like how we show URLs in the app

At the moment, I’ve limited the count to include only the next five events. This is a number that we can raise or lower.

One big question: if there’s no event today, but there’s event tomorrow and/or in the future, should we show some sort of an indicator up top (e.g. “There’s an event here tomorrow”)?

I maintain the stance that we should only reserve the blue flag for events that are about to happen, is happening or about to end. Prox is made to be used quickly, and our principle is to give you the best day possible today. This is why all places shown are always close enough to be walkable, and why events shown always happen soon enough so you will actually go to them.

So, if we’re going to show things that won’t happen any time soon, we should probably not show it upfront.
