Show HN: I have published a mobile HN client to have coffee chat with HN users

#1

Post by canergl »

Hi, I have published a mobile app to have coffee chat with HN users.

There was already a guy who made a website for this, but I wanted to do it in mobile to practice WebRTC(technology behind the audio chat) and have some fun.

I haven't spent too much time in terms of the general functionality as a HN client but can upgrade it if there are enough users enjoying the app.

You can download the apps via the links below;

IOS: https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/betternews-coffee-chat/id65047...

Android:

As you might have known, Android requires the app to be tested in a closed beta with at least 20 people So you can follow these steps to be a part of it and download;

1 - join the group https://groups.google.com/g/betternews

2 - download the app and enjoy

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apps.bette... or https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.apps.betternews

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions; http://www.x.com/canergly

I like this! HN gatherings used to happen in the past in various cities, are they still a thing? I’m envious of the irl meetings ACX community is having.

Why not go to the ACX meetups then? The overlap with topics HN likes is very strong.

Sounds cool, I may add such functionalities to the app if the app is used by a certain number of users.

What if you made it so any group could use the app? Like Meetup?

Why? I don't expect all ACX meetup folks to be programmers.

In that case, you should just use meetup and not this?

No, it potentially replaces Meetup functionality.
