Footsteps — Home Feed Exploration

Hi Dribbble! Excited to join this inspirational community and looking forward to learning a lot. Been quite hesitant to post on here but feel it's about time to explore and practice more visual design.

Many thanks to @Patrick Burtchaell for the invitation, check out some of his work as well!

Feel free to leave some feedback! Excited to grow this project further the next few weeks.

Questions to pick your brain with:
1. Within a feed overview, what do you prioritize when it comes to searching for an event — date, time, location, cost, type, being able to share, save, all of the above?

2. Do heart icons give the same impression as saving an event?

3. Would a feature that enables you to check your current location to the events location be necessary within the app?
