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.

> zażółć-gęślą-jaźń-related bugs

If this does mean something it's even more hilarious!

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

+1 for mastodon also orcid or google scholar

Didn't know about orcid! And good idea for google scholar, thanks for sharing!

- 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.

I 100% agree

Feature 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.

Yeah I was dumb enough not to handle spaces in city names... Saint Petersburg is fixed now, and most should be as well, but not all. I implemented some kind of quick fix for now, but I will investigate further when this settles down a bit.

Thanks for reporting!

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?

> City not found. Make sure you use the format: City, Country (Paris, France) It might be good to rework this—cities only, and provide a drop-down box for users to select. Having city, country is a bit superfluous for people who live in city-states.

You want a dropdown listing every city in the world?

I meant a text box that users could type in, and a drop-down that returned filtered results from the input.

I’m getting the following error: “No about section for this HN user. Waiting a minute to let HN API update.“ https://imgur.com/a/B1u4ZXA

Does this video help? https://x.com/meet_hn/status/1834918518904746329

After pasting the text in you HN account, the HN API takes a little while to update. In order not to abuse it, I added a timer.

If it happens even after waiting for a bit, please don't hesitate to share more informations here or at https://meet.hn/feedback

Great idea. I think it would be cool if you couldn't just add socials but a personal webpage and email (with mailto link).

Good idea, thanks! I was scared to allow any URL, to be honest. That's why I restricted this to a set of allowed domains. But as it's open source maybe I'll have the chance to get it pair reviewed before shipping it if this gets traction.

Two more things on the socials:

- Most socials use square icons, but Cal.com uses the logo, so it breaks the layout.

- I think it's worth adding YouTube, not just YouTube Music.
