mark my words, this will be worse than the reddit meetups.

#32you should probably use some kind of API to help people input their city/country.

#33Nice! You could add a feature to organize and host a meeting or contact people in some way. :-)
Perhaps it could show a reminder to have an email address in one's profile? That's recommended in general anyway
It would be more useful to have a button in each city to propose a meeting—no need to email anyone. You suggest a meeting, people can join or propose changes. That's it. :<

Sorry this happened. Could you share what you tried?
Maybe this video can help? https://x.com/meet_hn/status/1834918518904746329
If you prefer not to share publicly, you can also share your feedback here: https://meet.hn/feedback

#35Have signed up. It says there's another signup from my location, but is failing to show me. It just redirects to the home page. It is showing for another city, so perhaps due to the space in the name? Thanks.

#36Feature request: please add Mastodon/fediverse as a type of social media account.
Also, you generate invalid URLs for cities that have spaces in them, like Saint Petersburg.

Make sure your handle doesn't have a space at the end. That was my problem
Re: Show HN: Meet.hn – Meet the Hacker News community in your city
#38Good idea! I wish you also added Mastodon to the socials.
Thank you very much! Will add

#39- Great idea, thanks for sharing! - country-city does not work well in the US because we have many duplicated city names in different states - what harsh reputation? :)
- Thank you very much! - Damn, didn't know that. I just had the feedback that Paris, Tennessee wasn't working already. Today I'm using nominatim from openstreetmap to fetch cities data. This request: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?city=${rawCity}&c... I guess I'll have to change this for a less restrictive search. I wanted a city and country to have a nice and simple URL though. If you have any suggestion…
In the US you could just use “zipcode-us”. It’s not ideal though. Otherwise just “city-stateabbr-us” - e.g. “SiouxFalls-SD-US”

#40I really like this idea. I've wanted to build something to bring startup/remote work people in my area together for a while. I bought a few domains but couldn't figure out the hook. Smart idea to build it as part of the HN userbase, since that is the userbase you want for something like this!
Great work
