Looks cool! I've used the search or meetup.com before for this use case when I'm traveling, but meetup.com is slowly going away it seems. Feature Requests: - Mastodon support in the social dropdown - Auto complete on the location selector
also orcid or google scholar
delta.chat contact field, the best of the decentralised free software messengers
Easy to have multiple identities for public and private use
Earlier quoted context omitted.
- 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=${rawCity}&c... I guess I'll have to change this for a less restrictive search. I wanted a city and country to have a nice and simple URL though. If you have any suggestion…
> They criticize everything, and very easily I think that is a feature, not a bug.
There are multiple cities in the U.S. with the name of my city, so unfortunately this doesn't work for me.
When I type in "Kraków, Poland", I get meet.hn/city/pl-undefined. Does your code handle diacritics correctly?
Well, congrats on finding the second bug! Thanks! This one is pretty big, even as big as it's funny. > Does your code handle diacritics correctly? It seems it doesn't, no. Sorry for this. It's my first attempt at an international product. To give you more details, I'm using this query to fetch cities data: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?city=${rawCity}&c... I probably shouldn't have restricted accept-lang…
There's also downloadable CSV lists of the world's place names at https://geonames.org (and stably have been kept available and updated for many years by now) — if you already have a DB (likely in your case), script up some csv-to-dbtable dumping and thus you save on networked API call overheads just for querying the world's existing place names.
(It's regularly updated so best to keep the convert-and-dump script or logic around if you go that route.)
When I first discovered HN I thought it was a small Stanford thing, but over time realized it's mostly a Canada/Europe crowd (even most of the YC founders that come to San Francisco for their startup are from those places).
Bug alert: while clicking on the Seoul 'M' does work, listing its (currently 1) hackers, the close-by Pyongyang doesn't (despite also having "1 hacker" registered).
No extra account needed + information has value outside meet.hn + information has value even if site goes away.
