01908 — A cultural directory for Milton Keynes.

An update - version 2 of @01908.directory will launch 06.02.

Thank you to everyone who got involved, added events, supported the idea and asked ‘What is it?’ during this last year. 

Over 80 events were added, almost all from individuals with a vision for what they want to see happening across Milton Keynes. 

The next version is completely rebuilt to better represent how events, their curators and locations interconnect - alongside greatly increasing the visual legibility at the core of these unique patterns. 

And yes, you can add images now. Amongst other things. Some technical notes… 

• All ‘Citizen’ level accounts have been deleted, you should have received an email if this includes you. 01908 will always be free to access but all new membership levels will be paid for. 

• Everyone with a remaining account will need to reset their password to access the new directory dashboard. You can do this next Friday.

• Delete the existing web app if it’s on your homescreen.

01908.online is on. 🟢 We’re sharing this primer on what it wants to be and where it wants to go. It’s just an events listing directory, but a year from now it could where everyone checks to see what’s happening in Milton Keynes. If you run events, please get them on there. 01908 is anti-everything wrong with online event promotion today. It works on any device, doesn’t require an account to view and treats every event the same. Make sure to add it your homescreen too so we can send you notifications, they won’t be like other notifications. If you don’t know how, ask a friend. Finally, check it when you wake up. You’ll know if there’s something happening today, or not. And if there isn’t anything happening today, make something happen tomorrow. 🪩 One more thing… 01908 000–002 at @thebox_artsclub coming up on 08.02.2025, with @ernestherb , @steezytitty , Joe Jarvis & @richardharrison.xyz . 🔒

@01908.directory 2.0 is live. There’s a lot more to share about this new version, for now — tread carefully and be kind. Everything that was there before will still be there. Try changing the theme. Mark some events. Mark some curators. Mark some spots. Make it work for you. Everyone who engaged with @01908.directory over the last year brought this to fruition. 24/7 support still available in the DMs. @01908.directory is a product of @rnd.ltd
