Last night I went to a local tech event and met 4-5 other people who mentioned hacker news, none of which know about meethn or don't see the point because local events to your usual location are already organised by some benevolent person. If you list socials on meet.hn, I assume it means you are pro-social and open to meeting up. I see it as being more useful if travelling, an excuse to reach out and meet new people in a new place. 1. RSS waning 2. Probably wouldn't use email 3. (don't care) 4. would be more practical as a simple browser addon (meetHN / country flag) or userscript (maybe there's a userscript to addon tool given it's probably a few lines of JS) 5. This idea could be more interesting if it added some kind of meshed chat or something - the community you have made from my perspective appears to be HN people who are pro-social and open to connection (whats the point otherwise). http://news.meet.hn http://news.meet.hn could become a new default if it added more value than just some visibility of meetHN users - without aa value add to make it sticky it will fade away and be forgotten, an aside micro community makes this more interesting... but moderation... hmm, warnings, blacklist .. could become unmaintainable so the value-add has to be enough to warrant it 6. Not sure this would be useful as people near each other already have tech events and communities with moderation and organization apparatus facilitated by tech group organizer people and the moderation aspect would be more distributed? The amount of signups suggests there's something here, I'm inclined to think more as a distributed group of people with a shared interest open to connection. Seems like a subcommunity type deal, and 5 makes the most sense to me, proxy site that adds enough value to warrant using it, layered subcommunity is a cool idea
