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: https://nomi…

Sorry it happened!

Glad to see it worked for you in the end and that you are several people registered in Warsaw! https://meet.hn/city/52.2319581,21.0067249/Warsaw

You can now move to McMurdo Station if you want. Or anywhere else supported by openstreetmap!

This website doesn't check whether your profile link matches the city you typed in their website. It means you can place any other user wherever you want as long as they have a link in their profile (moved you to Taiwan as a test). It's also a big buggy since you show up in both places now.

Yes I got this fixed a few hours after the release.

This was a caching problem. I'm not completely satisfied of how it works now, but hopefully this kind of thing should be fixed.

the first thought was, there are no other hackers in my city ... let's wait and we will see :)

It's true that you are a bit alone in your town: https://meet.hn/city/52.9908208,22.883005/%C5%81apy

But you are not that far from Warsaw, with 9 people! https://meet.hn/city/52.2319581,21.0067249/Warsaw
