+It’s built with Symfony so it’s naturally using Twig for templating. I’ve become
+a big fan of the utility based approach to CSS and [Tailwind CSS][1] in
+particular, so I’m using that for all of the styling, and using [Webpack
+Encore][2] to compile all of the assets.
+
+We have an integration with Meetup.com which we’re using to pull all of our
+previous event data and store them as JSON files for Symfony to parse and
+render, which it then uses to generate static HTML to upload onto the server.
+
+We’re in the process of populating all of the past data, but look out for a v1
+launch soon. In the meantime, feel free to take a peek at our [GitHub
+repository][3].
