"No about section for this HN user. Waiting a minute to let HN API update."
Also might be good to add Mastodon to the list of available social networks.
When I type in "Kraków, Poland", I get meet.hn/city/pl-undefined. Does your code handle diacritics correctly?
Well, congrats on finding the second bug! Thanks! This one is pretty big, even as big as it's funny. > Does your code handle diacritics correctly? It seems it doesn't, no. Sorry for this. It's my first attempt at an international product. To give you more details, I'm using this query to fetch cities data: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?city=${rawCity}&c... I probably shouldn't have restricted accept-lang…
Also I wouldn't lose much sleep over the English reqs. I've had many people tell me that English is the global language that weren't born in native English speaking countries.
Most recent example, a Mod was going off about how a certain help page was setup for English questions only and she did this whole explanation about it, apologized for the system.
The majority of replies was some variant of just say "International Chat" next time - people from everywhere all in agreement.
If you made this in German, French or Japanese - I'd agree with you. I think English is the expectation these days tho

No problem. As a Polish person, it is my duty to find zażółć-gęślą-jaźń-related bugs in other people's code.
> zażółć-gęślą-jaźń-related bugs If this does mean something it's even more hilarious!

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.…
The problem will be that once this goes from the front page (on a weekend) then the chances that people will remember the site are low. Nevertheless there will be users who will not see the submission and would be otherwise interested into trying that. I think the voice chat with HN that was submitted last year (was it last year?) showed us that mostly after a day or two you couldn't find any activity. I don't know h…

So needs City/State/Country for the US.

That just gives a false sense of security. Someone who means harm would simply set themselves to each city successively, while people believe it to be private (similar to the location feature in dating apps that keeps being broken to find people's exact addresses). Not that I see what harm there is in associating a username with a (nearby) city when one makes that choice consciously, so it's not like the dating app s…
An app that would allow an account to change it's location more than 3 times in a year is a broken app in my book.
I'm not sure of a good solution. It may be a good idea to state the requirements somewhere
