Under the hood
Every tool and service I use to make and run this fan page - from the code and the collages to the jukebox and the visitor counter.
Building the site
Where the pages are made, stored and put online.
- Lovable ↗
Builds, hosts and publishes the whole site, and keeps the newsletter sign-ups and guestbook notes in its built-in database (Lovable Cloud).
- Claude ↗
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.
- GitHub ↗
Stores the site's code; every change syncs straight into Lovable.
- React, TanStack and Tailwind ↗
The open-source building blocks the pages are written in.
Pictures and design
All artwork is original - no footage or photos from the show.
- Gemini ↗
Makes the collages of objects in the page headers.
- Microsoft Copilot ↗
Makes the illustrated guest portraits.
- Figma ↗
Design sketches and layouts.
Listening and watching
Nothing is hosted here - every play goes straight to the show's own sources.
- The Night Fever podcast feed ↗
The episode player streams each episode straight from the show's own podcast feed.
- Spotify ↗
Plays the Jukebox (only after you press play), opens the listen links and hosts the Night Fever Afterparty Jukebox playlist.
- Apple Podcasts ↗
Listen links for every episode.
- WOW Presents Plus ↗
Where the watch links take you to see the episodes.
Maps, books and facts
Where the extra detail on the cards comes from.
- Google Maps ↗
Draws the Map page with every club and location the guests name.
- Wikipedia ↗
Most of the "Read more" links on the cards.
- Open Library ↗
The "Find a copy" links in the Book Club.
Transcripts
Used only to build the references - the transcripts are never published.
- sherpa-onnx ↗
Open-source speech recognition that turns each episode into a timestamped transcript, speaker by speaker.
- Microsoft Word ↗
Its built-in transcription, for some of the early episodes.
Visitors and search
Counting visits without tracking you, and helping people find the site.
- Web3Forms ↗
Delivers contact-form messages and new-guestbook-note alerts to my inbox.
- GoatCounter ↗
Counts page visits without cookies or personal data.
- Google Search Console ↗
Tells Google which pages exist so they show up in search.
What each service sees about you is on the privacy page.
