#72http://www.hackerlunch.com I am working on an iOS app that lets hackers meet up with each other and have lunch. I moved to San Francisco from Bangladesh last year and found it tough to meet other hackers. Being rather introverted, tech meetups didn't really work for me.

Also it solves the problem, where a large number of users are only interested in having lunch with a few people (VIPs on LetsLunch).
I'm hoping this will make HackerLunch more about meeting interesting people and less about "networking".

#77I initially wrote it in python but when I needed to write a query language and saw Rob Pike's talk on a lever for the Go template language, I rewrote it in Go. It was/is a good way to learn Go!
It borrows a few ideas from couchdb and mongodb and I'm in the process of changing the architecture so it can use other storage engines such as rethinkdb or tiedot for the json docs and couchdb for the BLOBs.

The basic idea is fairly similar. The key difference is that, instead of you requesting someone to have lunch, the app automatically pairs you with someone. I believe this would make the experience much more natural and fun.

#79My friend and i have been working on this for 18 months, contending with family and our day to day job, it's been a bit of struggle to finish it. Just released a week or two ago, still working on polishing the website (outsourced but that was a disaster), and video. Once that's done we're going to do marketing a litte more aggressively. I'm currerntly working on an android port.
