Social isolation is a huge problem. There's stigma around declaring it.
I'm doing my part to address this problem right now:
Any HN'ers in downtown Vancouver reading this post, let's
grab coffee near Robson Square. My email is in my profile
and synced to my phone so I will reply promptly.
I've been just reading principles.com (from the other HN thread) and inspired to take action.
- finid 10y agoTo some extent, Meetups help. It's not just an opportunity to hear about the latest in a filed that you have an interest in, but also an avenue to meet-and-greet.
- brilliantcode 10y agoI always found Meetups impersonal and difficult to socialize in large crowds due to my debilating social anxiety. Btw, nobody showed up yesterday but I haven't given up. I'm here from 9am ~ 5pm near Robson Square. Coffee (or tea) is on me. If you are not in Vancouver then shoot me an email, you can talk about anything.
- matt101589 10y agoI found Meetup to be the same way for me. So I'm starting something that allows you to limit how many people can join and have the option to create plans without needing a Meetup Group. Check it out TheCoopApp.com and let me know what you think.

- brightsize 10y agoI love the idea but I'm stuck on the "Logging in" page looking at a diamond-shaped spinner on both Firefox (50.0) and Chromium (53.0.2785.143), both on Linux. I notice the page is trying to load a script from facebook.net, something that's not going to happen on any system that I have control over. Not sure if that's the problem or if it's something else...
