Hey HN! I wanted to share something I made recently in my spare time during lockdown, to help find online meetups and events happening right now: nexthangout.com
Meetup.com is great for local in-person events but is not ideal for discovering online events across multiple timezones because it doesn't auto-convert the times when browsing. This means it's near impossible to discover events not happening near you which in fact should actually be the best part about meetups moving online: not being limited by location.
I found this quite annoying so built Next Hangout!
There's some cool stuff happening online if you find yourself having not much to do during lockdown, take a look!
Even better if you want to post an event, could be anything from a talk on React JS to a group read of a blog post to a 1v1 Fortnite match! In addition to well-prepared-in-advance events, I'm actually quite keen in the latter sort of micro-events and building a method where anyone can find low-effort micro-social activities to participate in on-demand, so not just focusing on events/meetups as we know them right now.
Would appreciate any feedback! What do you think?
