FoundersAround▲445Well, when I moved to another country (UK) I felt super lost. Who were the founders living here? What do they do? I ended up going to a Google coworking space over there and met some cool people. Now, I'm back in my home country, after 8 years abroad, and again, I don't know who are the founders living close to me that I could potentially meet. That's why I decided to build FoundersAround.com A simple map where founders can pin themselves. Meet other founders living nearby. Check in when travelling and meet founders over there.

Hi HN, I want to show you my first iPhone app. It's called 4sqwifi. I use Foursquare to find nearby venues with wifi and their passwords. We (me and a friend of mine who helped with coding) used Titanium Appcelerator to develop the app. The way it works is that we have a nice little algorithm communicating with Foursquare's API and then brings back the results which are only nearby venues with wifi -- and their passwords as tips. I think it's an interesting way to use Foursquare, right between social location awareness and everyday life-hacks. If you have any feedback, it's greatly…
