Hi everyone,

I’m a local developer based in Horsham, and after working on this on and off for the last 5 years, I finally pushed it live on the Google Play Store yesterday!

I built it because I got fed up trying to figure out which pubs actually have live music, acoustic sets, or quiz nights on the weekends without having to dig through dozens of individual Facebook pages and outdated websites.

To solve this, I created Thruddle.

Because I’ve been working on this for a long time, I’ve already done a massive data drop to populate as many venues, gigs, and quiz nights across Horsham, Crawley and much further afield. However, as you all know, the local pub and music scene moves fast, and the overall dataset is just too big for one person to maintain alone.

It’s designed to be a true community project. If you download the app and notice your local favorite is missing a gig, or a weekly quiz night has changed days, you can suggest edits directly inside the app.

For iPhone or desktop users: Don't worry, you aren't left out! I also have the web version up and running at thruddle.com. In fact, because the app is brand new, the website is currently much more feature-complete—it allows you to follow your favorite locals for event alerts, earn passport badges when you check-in, and plan your nights out.

For Pub & Venue Owners: The website fully supports local businesses! You can claim your listing and get your own microsite hosted directly on the platform to promote your own upcoming gigs, food truck nights, and drinks offers.

If you’re heading out this weekend, I’d love it if you could give the app or the site a spin. I’d massively appreciate any honest feedback, venue suggestions, or data corrections to help make this a genuinely useful tool.

It's completely free and has no dodgy ads. I'll drop the links in the comments below. Thanks so much for reading!

Cheers,

Julian

My brother and I are from Horsham and we’ve built Savour, a completely free meal planning app.

You choose your supermarket, budget, household size and food preferences, and Savour creates your meals and shopping list using real supermarket prices.

We’ve got 500 recipes across Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA and Morrisons, with more coming soon.

Would genuinely love some local feedback if anyone fancies trying it!

You can download it on the App Store here

Hey all

I am in Crawley for work tomorrow and staying in the crowne plaza and I am craving a good burger and a pint does anyone have any recommendations?

Hey everyone!

I posted here last month about the free meal planning app my brother and I were building, so wanted to share a quick update - Savour is officially live on the App Store!

We’ve launched with 250 recipes and real prices from Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda, helping you build meal plans around your budget, household size and what you actually like eating.

We’ve got another 250 recipes coming over the next few weeks, with more supermarkets to follow.
It’s completely free, so would love for some of you to try it and let us know what you think!

You can download it from the App Store here

Anyone know a decent mobile appliance repairer?

The fridge half of my fridge/freezer isn't getting cold and I need it diagnosed/repaired.

Midhurst/Petworth area.

Cheers!

Just moved back to West Sussex from a city, with the Pokémon 30th anniversary tcg being released tomorrow I'd like to pick some up for me and my daughter. Not a clue where to get them though. Anyone able to send me in the right direction?

I'll be in Bognor Regis most of the day if that's any help

Hi there,

My name is Hannah and I am currently in year 13. I am completing my geography NEA about the coastal defences (groynes and sea wall) around East Beach, Selsey.

I would really appreciate if you would fill in this short survey about East Beach.

Thank you for your time.

My father-in-law recently passed away and we're looking for a reliable handyman in the Storrington area who could assist my mother-in-law with the odd household jobs that she can no longer manage herself.

Because she is elderly and living alone, we're particularly looking for someone honest, trustworthy and respectful, ideally someone who has been recommended by local residents.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Randomly found this jersey and the sponsor was a business in the West Sussex area.

Anyone has an idea what team is it

Thank you

Hi Everyone. I'm from Sussex originally (Steyning area), lived here for 22 years. and am needing to move back after being away for over 20 years to look after my Mum. I've been looking for lets around that area, and also Worthing, and further afield to Littlehampton.

There's been a few people say on groups and threads that Littlehampton is quite dodgy and somewhere to avoid. May I ask, in what respect? I've lived in inner SE London for a few years and would like to compare, as as you can appreciate, roughness or dodginess is quite a relative thing.

Would love to hear peoples views! Thanks so much :)

Hi all, hoping to jump in this thread and ask for some advice. I was born and raised in Horsham but moved out in 2009 to attend University and subsequently bought a house in Oxfordshire with my wife. Fast forward to now, we have a 3 yo and 1 yo and are considering moving closer to parents who live in a small village just outside Horsham.

Are there any places you'd recommend living for a young family? I know Horsham well but it'd be at the very upper most of our budget. Priorities for us are good schools, decent facilities (swimming pool for kids etc), safe, within reasonable drive (30 mins) of parents near Horsham.

Any advice would be welcomed. We plan to spend some time visiting each location to get a better feel for them.

Thank you!

Hey! 👋 I'm doing my dissertation on how researchers and community groups connect with each other, and I'd really appreciate it if you could spare 5 mins to fill out my survey. (If you've ever done research, even just for uni coursework, that counts — you'd fit the "researcher" category!) If you know anyone who does research or works with a community group/space, sharing it their way would help me so much too 🙏

Thank you!! 💛

I'm turning 35 and would like to have a special meal out/day out. I have young children, so even though I'd like to treat myself to something fancy, its just not going to work. Any suggestions around West Sussex/Surrey that both adults and children would enjoy? Either for just a meal or bonus if we can make it a a whole day out. Thanks
