Show HN: Meet.hn – Meet the Hacker News community in your city

Hey HN!

I just published https://meet.hn, a map to find hackers in your city.

How it works?

Demo of the signup process: https://x.com/meet_hn/status/1834918518904746329

1. Fill the form: username, city+country

2. Copy the text generated in the box below the form, and paste it in your HN description.

3. Click "Add me on the map"

Optionnaly (it's recommended!) you can add links to your socials as well as some tags to showcase your interests.

Why does it exist?

I created this because, despite its harsh reputation on the internet, I love the HN community. I have fewer than a handful of friends who are as curious and eager to think and reflect as the people on HN. Also, the city I currently live in is more focused on industry than on technology and entrepreneurship, which are core to HN.

This led me to want to meet the HN community IRL. After trying `site:news.ycombinator.com/user toulouse` on Google and getting only one result, I decided to create meet.hn.

My first goal with this is to meet at least one HN member in my city: Toulouse, France. If you are ever in the area, hit me up! I'm sirobg at https://meet.hn/city/fr-Toulouse

Additional details:

- meet.hn has a twitter page: https://x.com/meet_hn. If you meet IRL thanks to meet.hn, don't hesitate to tag it with a picture, it would mean the world to me.

- the code is open source: https://github.com/borisghidaglia/meet-hn

- meet.hn integrates with https://at.hn/ from @padolsey (https://padolsey.at.hn/), registered on meet.hn at https://meet.hn/city/cn-Beijing

Finally, many thanks to these people for their help and/or feedbacks! Ordered alphabetically:
