Hangout OS

Build a Los Angeles shortlist from five choices.

Head developer: Jason Abeleda

What it does

Choose an area, group, budget, vibe, and time. Hangout OS ranks a curated catalog and presents three lead plans: Best fit, Closest / easiest, and Best value. Data is not live; confirm estimated costs and availability before going.

The problem

A plan can fit the budget and still be wrong for the group, area, vibe, or time. Checking every option against those factors takes time.

How it works

Hard eligibility rules precede deterministic ranking. Main results stay within the selected budget; over-budget options and check-first events are shown separately.
