Show HN: My weekend project, Hacker's Coffee

Primary link: http://hackerscoffee.org

I thought Coder’s Coffee (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4010355) was a great idea but disagreed with a few aspects of its execution (registration solely via linkedin, iOS app only, manual approval process, brittle: crashed every time I used it on my phone). I noticed the app had stopped working entirely last week, and went to the site (http://www.coderscoffee.com) to discover that the project seems to be no more.

I re-implemented the concept, minus my grievances, in about 20 free hours I had last week (and also took the opportunity to make a time-lapse video of the development process, something I’d been wanting to do for a long time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlll6SN-Ybk).

This is very minimal and rough around the edges design-wise, but it has the critical features I’d been after. Just the features I wanted to make it capable of solving the problem of introducing me to other like-minded developers. I welcome observations/suggestions/improvements.

At the very least, you can grab a coffee with me if you’re in New York:
