+# Encore
+Frontend Project for cds-208 at FHGR  
+Collaborators: Pascal Schieman, Nicola Augsburger, Karolina Thöny-Tyganova
+## Project Description
+**Find your next event in seconds.** Encore is a modern event discovery frontend
+that brings Ticketmaster events directly to users through a clean, intelligent
+interface. Instead of sifting through cluttered listings, users can instantly browse
+concerts, sports, theater, and entertainment by location, date, and category—then
+dive into event details to make informed decisions fast.
+
+The product centers on three core goals:
+- **Discoverability**: make events easy to find through location and category filters.
+- **Decision support**: display essential details (date, venue, city, lineup) at a glance.
+- **Usability**: deliver a responsive, intuitive interface that works seamlessly on all devices.
+
+Built on Ticketmaster's API, Encore provides real-time event data while maintaining
+a lightweight, scalable architecture—ready for future features like personalized
+recommendations, saved events, or social sharing.
