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,…

    I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!

  • I asked an HN member for feedback and she blew my mind2010 · slideshare.net · ▲453

    A few days ago, I responded to a comment by bloggergirl offering to read anyone's web copy and help. I shot off an email hoping for a paragraph or two of feedback on my startup's copy. Instead I received a professional, detailed deck of tons of invaluable well thought out feedback. It must have taken her an entire afternoon. Here's a link to it: http://www.slideshare.net/shereefb/recommendations-for-bettermeans To top it off, this isn't someone with a lot of free time on her hands, she's only days away from launching her own startup (page99test) This community blows my mind!
