Show HN: #nomads – a chat community for digital nomads
- wfn 12y agoWith hopes of not sounding too rude: Could you explain more what this is about? (These frontpages with nothing but a "give me your name and email address so we can sign you up for $list" are kind of irritating, personally.) Why should one sign up? The hashtag makes me think of IRC channels (but apparently it's just a hashtag?) Why is this better than creating an IRC channel and pointing people to it? ..so it's powered by levels.io, which is for "building a community around your product." Its frontpage includes a graphic about a spike in pageviews.
- Jonovono 12y agoIt's a slack chat room.
- pieterhg 12y agoSorry about that, I could make that page a bit more clear :) Yes, it's a Slack chat for nomads and remote workers and people that are planning to be soon. It has channels for different cities so that people can meet up wherever they work. We have just passed 500 members, so it's fun to see where this goes!
- fiatjaf 12y agoWhy not a IRC chat room? In fact, I'll enter the #nomads channel and see what happens.
- heyalexej 12y agoNot every DN is a programmer. There are no good clients for mobile and tablet. Sharing files would be a pain. Every individual would need to store logs for themselves. And finally, you can use slack over IRC if you like.
