Event Ops for Movement Arts
Built for flow-arts festivals and used in production at FLAME 2026, where it produced 185 performer frames across a 171-person directory.
Promo frames
A canvas editor composites each person’s photo with a branded frame and name and role stickers. Undo, redo, background color and photo swap are built in, and layouts save as versioned JSON, so a frame can be reopened and tweaked weeks later.
Self-serve
A public link lets anyone upload a photo and download a finished frame to post from their own page, with no account and no staff time. It is a deliberately small tool for spreading the word about the event, and iPhone HEIC photos are converted on the server.
Schedule
Import a Google Sheet or XLSX. Marquee detects standard and transposed layouts and reads cell background colors as skill levels. It renders a time-by-area grid with per-cell typography and auto-fit text, then exports a PDF.
Directory
Instructors, performers and staff live in one directory with a photo library per person. Import from a spreadsheet with a preview-then-confirm step, or bulk-upload photos by filename pattern or Drive folder, with live progress.
Under the hood
Invite-only accounts with TOTP and a four-tier role hierarchy. Database-backed sessions with sliding expiry. Invitations that track email delivery and can be re-sent. All of it tested.
Monolith with Nitro server routes
Typed schema as the single source of truth
Interactive canvas plus precise text rendering
Custom dark “fire” theme
Headless Chrome for print-quality PDFs
80% coverage gate; routes tested without a database
Paper.js renders sticker text to images with better typography and path handling, but has no selection or resize UI. Fabric.js provides that interactive layer. Each does the job the other is bad at.
Marquee is in production use at flow-arts festivals. Demos are by screen share.
