Under the hood

Builds, hosts and publishes the whole site, and keeps the newsletter sign-ups, guestbook notes and interview suggestions in its built-in database (Lovable Cloud).

My co-pilot for everything behind the scenes: writes the code, researches every name and place, checks the links, transcribes the episodes and builds the reference sheets.

Stores the site's code; every change syncs straight into Lovable.

The flyer fonts - headlines (Archivo Black), the typewriter text everywhere (Special Elite), and timestamps and small data (IBM Plex Mono). Open licences (SIL OFL and Apache), served from this site, not from a font service.

The pink pencil handwriting of the guest quotes on the Afterparty page - an invented hand, not the guests' own. Open licence (SIL OFL), served from this site, not from a font service.

The pixel font in the Wardrobe's Clueless Style - open licence (SIL OFL), served from this site, not from a font service.

The open-source building blocks the pages are written in.

Makes the collages of objects in the page headers.

Makes the illustrated guest portraits.

Design sketches and layouts.

The episode player streams each episode straight from the show's own podcast feed.

Plays the Jukebox and the song, band and club cards (only after you press play), opens the listen links and hosts the Night Fever Afterparty Jukebox playlist.

Listen links for every episode.

Where the watch links take you to see the episodes.

Draws the Map page with every club and location the guests name.

Most of the "Read more" links on the cards.

The "Find a copy" links in the Book Club.

Open-source speech recognition that turns each episode into a timestamped transcript, speaker by speaker.

Its built-in transcription, for some of the early episodes.

Delivers contact-form messages and alerts about new "Who to interview next" suggestions and guestbook notes to my inbox.

Passes on emails sent to hello@nightfever-afterparty.com to my own inbox, without keeping them.

Counts page visits without cookies or personal data.

Tells Google which pages exist so they show up in search.

Does the same for Bing (and the search engines that use it, like DuckDuckGo).

Tells Bing and other search engines straight away when a page is new or has changed - just the page addresses, nothing about visitors.

Takes tips for the fan page - the tip box in the footer is a plain link to my Tipeee page, which handles the payment (cards through Adyen in the Netherlands, or PayPal).
