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.…

Love a meet tab. I once tried to arrange a meet up in Hong Kong but then real life and work got in the way. Would love an easier and semi official way to get things started.

Could you add Discord to the socials? The format for a Discord user URL is like this: `discordapp.com/users/ ` where ` ` is an integer. (People can copy the user ID when signed into Discord.)

Trying to add myself fails, showing "Oops! Something uncool is breaking this app.".

I can get it to work by using a district name e.g "Wan Chai, China". There should probably be some special handling for Hong Kong and Macau since although they are in China, they have their own ISO country codes, flags and are divided differently.
