Show HN IRL (Mountain View, California)

Local to Mountain View (South Bay) === SHOW HN IN REAL LIFE === == What == A recurring local meetup for people building stuff to show others their stuff (and hang out with other people building stuff). == Why == Building stuff alone at home is lonely and sometimes you get stuck with an obscure technical problem that someone else has already figured out. Also, having a peer IRL support group that meets regularly can help keep you accountable to shipping that cool half-baked hobby project of yours, even if version 0.1 isn't pretty. And oh, make some cool new friends. == Where == Mountain View,…

And oh, make some cool new friends. == Where == Mountain View, California. Exact location TBD, but likely, at a coffee shop. Probably, Red Rock Coffee on Castro St. (Caltrain accessible) == When == First meetup this weekend-ish, depending on when most people would prefer to meet. (A) Fri evening (2/3/17) (B) Sat afternoon (C) Sat evening (D) Sun afternoon (E) Sun evening == Contact == Drop me an email if you're interested and tell me which of the times above you can make. I'd love to meet some new people IRL and show y'all some stuff I've been hacking on for some thoughts :) Email me here: jayliew [] jayliew * com

    Our weekend project - HN Showcase, browse "Show HN" posts2011 · ▲63

    http://www.hnshowcase.com Moses (nnythm) and I browse Hacker News daily. Show HN posts are some of our favorite parts of HN. We wanted to create a way to browse Show HN articles, even those that might not quite make it to the front page. We created http://www.hnshowcase.com last weekend to make discovering projects posted on HN easier. It searches all "Show HN" posts and generates a thumbnail view for each of them. You can sort by submission date, points, and number of comments, and navigate with left/right or j/k keys. We used the following technologies: HN Search API, Pyramid web…

    SocialFolders, "Dropbox for social"2012 · ▲187

    Hey fellow HN-ers, I'd like to ask HN about my latest startup: SocialFolders. We take a Dropbox-like approach to managing your content on your social networks by mirroring all the content you have on these networks in folders on your computer. Moving this content around, between folders or between services, is mirrored in the all-mighty "cloud" (ugh, I hate this word). We'd love to know what you think. We think our approach solves the problem of managing content at scale. We put together a quick 2'30 screencast to show HN how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s2TFsVezZQ If you want…

    Show HN my Hackathon Project: Visual Craigslist w/ HN's algorithm2011 · 5thavenue.chartboost.com · ▲42

    The concept was to rethink the way we browsed Craigslist and shopped online. The main section, the "homepage" is a tree map of recent craigslist posting sorted by popularity using a slightly modified version of Hacker News' ranking algorithm. The newest page is a masonry view of the realtime stream of the craiglist posts as they are added to the system (much like Hacker News' newest page.) The top page is the masonry view version of the homepage. The game page is a FaceMash-like game for the posts, which influences the overall scores and popularity of items.
