Targeting HN only was just because the crowd here are much more civil and polite, and seem to be responsible and smart people who I would actually be interested in meeting. And also because I have seen a lot of people expressing a desire to meet others on many threads here. About the idea of helping people meet by allowing them to find deals, etc. That's a good idea and I did think of that, but the current version of hackerlunch.com is just an MVP. I launched it not so that people use it, but more to find out if people are even interested in meeting "strangers from the internet". If I find that there is an interest, then I'll be working on a more full-fledged website with more advanced features.
