I think you meant https://github.com/TeaWithStrangers . Their site shows 404 for any invalid URL
TWS is a great crew of people, and Ankit's a great community leader. Both the normal small group events, and the rare big community ones have only been positive.
You should go to one and if it seems like your... cup of tea... consider becoming a host
Wow. Didn't realize this was on HN. Hi guys. Ankit here. I started TWS. Happy to answer any q's here or by email (Ankit at teawithstrangers.com). Actually in the middle of a gathering of the SF host community right now so will be a tiny bit delayed on responses but will get to everything! Lots of gratitude for all the good words and valuable critiques.

"Quality" might sound snobby or something so let me qualify... people who are intelligent, people who are motivated, people who have a sense of humor, people who aren't dishonest with intent to take unfair advantage of others, people who take basic care of their personal hygiene and fitness, people who are open minded (i.e. not racist etc), people who don't have chronic hard drug habits, people who are not religious fundamentalists or involved with some fringe political ideology, people who are interested and interesting....
All of these (or lack thereof) are deal breakers in my book. Call me uncharitable, but I'd rather be by myself than associate with them. I've met too many people in life who have simply wasted my time or taken from me without giving back. Where are the quality people? Make an app for that and I'm on board!
This sounded interesting to me when I first loaded the page and imagined it was talking about virtual tea: me sipping tea at home while typing/conversing live with a random person halfway around the world. Is there such a thing? Turns out there are quite a few, as I just discovered with a quick search. Any HN readers have good experiences with any of them? I just tried one briefly, and had a string of disconnects aft…
