Show HN: Meet.hn – Meet the Hacker News community in your city

768 点作者 sirobg8 个月前

Hey HN!I just published <a href="https://meet.hn" rel="nofollow">https://meet.hn</a>, a map to find hackers in your city.How it works?Demo of the signup process: <a href="https://x.com/meet_hn/status/1834918518904746329" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/meet_hn/status/1834918518904746329</a>1. Fill the form: username, city+country2. Copy the text generated in the box below the form, and paste it in your HN description.3. Click "Add me on the map"Optionnaly (it's recommended!) you can add links to your socials as well as some tags to showcase your interests.Why does it exist?I created this because, despite its harsh reputation on the internet, I love the HN community. I have fewer than a handful of friends who are as curious and eager to think and reflect as the people on HN. Also, the city I currently live in is more focused on industry than on technology and entrepreneurship, which are core to HN.This led me to want to meet the HN community IRL. After trying `site:news.ycombinator.com/user toulouse` on Google and getting only one result, I decided to create meet.hn.My first goal with this is to meet at least one HN member in my city: Toulouse, France. If you are ever in the area, hit me up! I'm sirobg at <a href="https://meet.hn/city/fr-Toulouse" rel="nofollow">https://meet.hn/city/fr-Toulouse</a>Additional details:- meet.hn has a twitter page: <a href="https://x.com/meet_hn" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/meet_hn</a>. If you meet IRL thanks to meet.hn, don't hesitate to tag it with a picture, it would mean the world to me.- the code is open source: <a href="https://github.com/borisghidaglia/meet-hn">https://github.com/borisghidaglia/meet-hn</a>- meet.hn integrates with <a href="https://at.hn/" rel="nofollow">https://at.hn/</a> from @padolsey (<a href="https://padolsey.at.hn/" rel="nofollow">https://padolsey.at.hn/</a>), registered on meet.hn at <a href="https://meet.hn/city/cn-Beijing" rel="nofollow">https://meet.hn/city/cn-Beijing</a>Finally, many thanks to these people for their help and/or feedbacks!

I've often thought about building something like this into HN itself and having a 'meet' tab at the top. There are so many people, me included, whose lives have been changed by HN. I would love to find a way to encourage more positive effects in the real world. Not sure exactly how this would work, but it's encouraging to see the community taking up the cause again, and I'll be interested to hear about how this goes. If people start having real meetups maybe we can sponsor a semi-official thread about them or something.

It's really disheartening. All those names the OP has mentioned, but we can't see them as X.com has X'ed them under password.We need to look at some other service that is open to share our own identities without the login hell.Does anyone know if such service is available?

There seems to be undocumented requirements for romanizations of city names. Consider a Japanese city like 船橋市。 The official romanization (訓令式 / ISO 3602) would be "funabasi". This is how many people type the name with an IME. However, this is input is rejected, while "funabashi" is accepted.I'm not sure of a good solution. It may be a good idea to state the requirements somewhere

Wait, are there really 36 Hacker News users in North Korea? The map just refreshes if I check that, but it seems kinda unbelievable given how isolated the country is and how heavily monitored the folks living there are.Either way, had a bit of trouble adding myself due to the tool expecting this data to be the only thing in the user's bio. Could it be updated to check if the text exists anywhere at all? Because quite a few people here will want to discuss their side projects and startups first, not start off with a random block of tags.

Nice little thing, congrats to shipping :)I find it ironic that there are many cities with N hackers on meet.hn, yet most are not attaching any way of contacting them, nor do their profile have a way to contact them.How are you (the people without contact details) expecting us to meet you if you don't add a way of meeting you? :)

Well done! I have one suggestion. Given how geographically sparse HN users are, you could consider listing nearby users too. For example:2 hackers in Ankh-Morpork:- Lord Vetinari- Igor3 hackers within 10 mi (16 km):- Susan (Sto Helit)- Princess Keli (Sto Lat)- Lord Rodley (Quirm)(It can be a bit tricky, though.)

> No meet.hn data found for this HN user. Waiting a minute to let HN API update.My account exists since 2020, why would the HN API (which, if you click the link at the bottom of every page, says "near real time") not know my account? I'm curious how this error occursFor anyone else having this, the "add me" button will enable itself again, but it does take a while. Not that retrying seems to work for meEdit: nvm I'm being stupid, I did not see the "copy and paste the text below into your HN account" instruction. Thanks also to those who replied with that info, though while playing with the browser dev tools to figure out what the issue might be, I spotted that text eventually

Is it limited to hackers, or is it open to all tech-savvy, free-thinking types of HN readers? If need be, I could dust off some mad 6502 assembly language skillz. Oh, and I ran a BBS briefly in the 80s if that helps me qualify. I’m not technically knowledgeable on current technologies, but I think I’m sufficiently opinionated.

I like that idea but I purposely stay anonymous on HN and I would be DOXing myself if I used this. It'd be great to be able to either use it without a username (ideally) or have the choice to keep your HN username private.

Confirms my suspicion that the most active HN users are in Canada/East Coast/Europe.When I first discovered HN I thought it was a small Stanford thing, but over time realized it's mostly a Canada/Europe crowd (even most of the YC founders that come to San Francisco for their startup are from those places).

This is neat. I added myself.I'm hitting a bug where clicking New York just refreshes the page instead of loading the city's page. Los Angeles, San José, and... most cities seem to exhibit it.

I placed myself at McMurdo Station and it shows up on the map but clicking the icon throws a 500 error.Edit: seems to be fixed (by removing my icon from the map, now it throws error 500 when posting the data to re-add it).Edit 2: you can place yourself in North Korea but clicking the [M] doesn't work because the name contains non ASCII characters. Also it returns error 405 when adding yourself (despite actually saving the data).

This is really neat. Well done on the UX and functionality.I saw others already mentioned uniqueness of city names. In the US there is no guarantee a state, zip code, or even county won't have a duplicate city name. To solve this one must store the lat/lng coordinates instead. Then offer users a search list of matched cities, so they can select the right geographic location.Good stuff - cheers!

Just to leave my data point, I couldn't find San Juan, Puerto Rico (city, state/country) in your list. That said, PR is so small that I don't care about searching by city, searching for users in the island is enough for a meetup. For privacy reasons, we should also be able to add our state/country without a city.

This is a great idea, and I sincerely want it to work out.For myself, I'll probably not use it, but that's because I'm an "old," and I stopped attending local meetups, because I was always surrounded by a circle of avoidance, where no one would look at me, or have anything to do with me.Got a bit tiresome, but it's the way of the world, I guess. For non-olds, these meetups are great, with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.

I am trying to register from Warsaw, Poland - but I always get a 'City not found' error - I've tried Warszawa, Polska and Warszawa, Poland too.It reports the error already at the first letter and never changes.I am using Firefox and I get lots of Javascript errors.I am curious how the three users that are visible on the map registered.*Update:* the Openstreetmap call that is used seems to be correct: <a href="https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?city=Warsaw&country=%20Polan&format=json&place=city&limit=1&addressdetails=1&accept-language=en-US" rel="nofollow">https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?city=Warsaw&count...</a> - this leads to the right data - so I guess the page is updated after I fill up the correct name, but some Javascript error blows up the process.This is the primary candidate:Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: x is undefined NextJS 17 h cache validationFunction p t setTimeout handler*8245/Q/< a_ aR sF sF sM sU o4 iV sU uR uM page-55b4fe444b2a460b.js:1:1221 p NextJS AsyncFunctionThrow self-hosted:811 NextJS 13*Update:* It also failed in Chrome.

Cool idea!Location must be pre-defined (country, state/province, city) and should not be entered by aspiring HN community members.I don't want to read the whole code to understand why the generated text is pasted in the HN description, or is it just a marketing tactic?

I like this.I know this might sound petty, but the thing preventing me from signing up is your comfort level dispersing information through x.com. You said "meet.hn has a twitter page", but sadly, twitter is dead and has been replaced by something sinister. I can't support them, even tangentially.
