Interesting project. A few of the immediate problems I see:
1) It looks far more like people just posting an introduction about themselves. Let's say that a month from now you have 200 posts on it, and I'm looking to see if anyone wants to get lunch in Santa Monica. This doesn't appear terribly easy, and being lazy I'm not going to spend more than about 1 minute trying to find people.
2) I don't see that any of these expires. If I post for lunch in an hour and a half or so, it will live on forever. This is much more an event and time-based thing, yet the records live on more like a blog/news/announcement section.
Dates, times, and locations should be displayed well, a search by city would be most useful as well.
- ashraful 16y agoThe posts are actually for people to let others know that they are interested in having lunch with other HN-ers. The actual lunch plan will need to be decided privately (ie. you can send a message to the user if you're interested in having lunch, and you can decide on a day/time when you are both free)
- silencio 16y agoIf you are really looking for lunch in Santa Monica, there was talk of two LA-based groups of interest to HNers mentioned in the past that I remember (and never be able to attend, which saddens me but my schedule is what it is...) http://promenade.thursdaylunch.com/ http://promenade.thursdaylunch.com/ - exactly a lunch in santa monica :) http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Hacker-News/ http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Hacker-News/ - a broader meetup group And if you're ever up for Tuesday evening dinners with Cocoa developers (any level of knowledge/experience, but devs only please, no headhunting and marketing stuff), there's NSCoder Night in Santa Monica that I regularly attend, feel free to contact me for details.
