Show HN: H34t.io (No VC funding, no startup, I just wanted to build it)

h34t.io

I built h34t.io because I wanted to see where everyone was around me. I wanted to go to the places where people like me were at (age, sex, interests, etc) and avoid the other places.

I built the app over 6 months, submitted to iTunes along time ago, and am finally getting around to writing my first post about it.

I'll need more diverse expertise getting it to the next level, so anyone who is interested (especially marketing-growth-hacker-types) hit me up and we'll see if we have fun working together.

Cool idea!

Any plans to share your experience creating the app or to show off the code itself?

Anything worth working on for 6 months is likely interesting to learn more about. Plus, it's always nice to find out how others tackle ambitious personal projects.

All I get from the link is a webpage giving me the ASCII finger. Not exactly marketing that speaks to me.

Good luck.

The marketing is geared for 21 year olds and younger. If you're older than that and offended, then the marketing is on message ;)

I am interested in the app functionality .. So is it like we need to check in when we visit a place ? How exactly is data coming in ?

Cool app! Where does the data come from?
