- 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…

It's also confusion that reporting of a bug is not criticism. It's a Show HN. You've asked for the feedback. People that get twisted when the feedback is anything other than pablum like "great job" need not be a developer. If you can't handle being told that something isn't working, then how do you ever expect to improve? Or maybe you've moved from being a dev and are now trying to be a founder?

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…

No problem. As a Polish person, it is my duty to find zażółć-gęślą-jaźń-related bugs in other people's code.

Not working for me. Tried ~10 times.

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

Not on X sorry.

Nothing happend. The error message is not helpful at all (can it connect? Does it find the user? Does it find the data in the about section? What URL was it trying? etc.) but said it wanted to wait a minute for the API. User since 2020 (with this account)

[Edit] Tried again it now says

"No about section for this HN user. Waiting a minute to let HN API update."

[Edit2] Works now, the other reply about the space made me think. I didn't use identical Uppercase/Lowercase. Hmm.
