Show HN: I have published a mobile HN client to have coffee chat with HN users
Hi, I have published a mobile app to have coffee chat with HN users.
There was already a guy who made a website for this, but I wanted to do it in mobile to practice WebRTC(technology behind the audio chat) and have some fun.
I haven't spent too much time in terms of the general functionality as a HN client but can upgrade it if there are enough users enjoying the app.
You can download the apps via the links below;
IOS: https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/betternews-coffee-chat/id65047...
Android:
As you might have known, Android requires the app to be tested in a closed beta with at least 20 people So you can follow these steps to be a part of it and download;
1 - join the group https://groups.google.com/g/betternews
2 - download the app and enjoy

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions; http://www.x.com/canergly
Awesome. I submitted my request and I would love to test Android. I have ADB ready if needed on my device as well.
I think you should be able to download it from the market if you become a tester after you joined to the group.
Are you able to download from here?

I like this! HN gatherings used to happen in the past in various cities, are they still a thing? I’m envious of the irl meetings ACX community is having.
Sounds cool, I may add such functionalities to the app if the app is used by a certain number of users.
What if you made it so any group could use the app? Like Meetup?
In that case, you should just use meetup and not this?
No, it potentially replaces Meetup functionality.

Why not go to the ACX meetups then? The overlap with topics HN likes is very strong.
Why? I don't expect all ACX meetup folks to be programmers.
Neither is HN
