Add location information to users. I'm more likely to work on a small project with someone local. Also, local user groups are doing this already, if you add location info they could use your software.
Agree! Its quite hard to meet new friends in person when you start working full time. I'd love a place where I can meet and work on small projects with new coders. But my intention would be to meet potential co-founders so having geo tagging of some sort can be really helpful.
That's exactly what we had in mind for the site: a way for people with restrictive schedules to meet other technical people in a project context (seeking cofounders is a perfect example of the need). We'll work on integrating geographic info.
Great idea. For now, location can go in the profile. We'll consider adding a separate field for this so you can filter & search by location.
If you need location information I have a ton of it already at hackrtrackr.com, tell me what you need and maybe i can set you up a feed. bradleyt dot marsh at gmail
We're not quite sure how we're going to implement the group/location feature but we'll have that in mind. Thanks for the offer.
