coproduction in Gloucestershire for many years and he will be greatly missed.<p>Before Dan died, we asked if we could plan an annual Dan Beale Cocks Celebration of Best Practice in

Show HN: Meet.hn – Meet the Hacker News community in your city
Hey HN!<p>I just published <a href="https://meet.hn" rel="nofollow">https://meet.hn</a>, a map to find hackers in your city.<p>How it works?<p>Demo of the signup process: <a href="https://x.com/meet_hn/status/1834918518904746329" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/meet_hn/status/1834918518904746329</a><p>1. Fill the form: username, city+country<p>2. Copy the text generated in the box below the form, and paste it in your HN description.<p>3. Click "Add me on the map"<p>Optionnaly (it's recommended!) you can add links to your socials as well as some tags to showcase your interests.<p>Why does it exist?<p>I created this because, despite its harsh reputation on the internet, I love the HN community.
I have fewer than a handful of friends who are as curious and eager to think and reflect as the people on HN.
Also, the city I currently live in is more focused on industry than on technology and entrepreneurship, which are core to HN.<p>This led me to want to meet the HN community IRL.
After trying `site:news.ycombinator.com/user toulouse` on Google and getting only one result, I decided to create meet.hn.<p>My first goal with this is to meet at least one HN member in my city: Toulouse, France.
