If the idea is to share conversation over a coffee (or presumably another beverage), isn't location important? (It is for me.) So why no option to search by location?
- osetinsky 13y agoDefinitely - we want to set the location by default based on where the user is. The plan is to let people change their current location, although now it is set based on where they are currently working (according to LinkedIn).
- golergka 13y agoThis. Not living in US, I'm used to be treated as an outsider by majority of services and startups showing up on HN, but this particular service would be painfully easy to make convenient for users around the world.
- osetinsky 13y agoTotally understand and sorry about that. We're trying to open elsewhere as soon as possible. We thought it would help us to focus on New York and then open in other cities after we formed small bases of people there, ~100 people. Where are you golergka?
- joshaidan 13y agoI wonder if it would be possible to make some kind of API, or way to make it possible for apps to launch worldwide instead of just locally. I know there are challenges for launching for a large area when starting up, but I wonder if there's a way to make it easier for startups.
- osetinsky 13y agoIt's just easier to focus locally at first to work out the kinks. But we probably are missing out on potential learning experiences by staying open in certain areas. Plan is to open elsewhere soon.
- mscottmcbee 13y agoIt's not much better in the US. I live in Atlanta and I feel like I'm missing out on most of the fun. If you're not in SF or NYC, there's a lot you don't get.
- osetinsky 13y agoI'm from Kentucky, so know how you feel. We're trying to open up elsewhere in the next few weeks, and can't wait.
