Good luck with your idea ;-). Why don't you open your own thread/news? Liebe Grüße und komm uns mal besuchen, können einen Kaffee trinken

Vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Um ehrlich zu sein habe ich nicht gewusst, dass man eigene Beiträge posten kann. Ich dachte immer das die Leute von hacker news / YCombinator interessante Nachrichten teilen.

I wünsche euch das Gleiche, VIEL ERFOLG!

I think that there is plenty of room for growth and platforms in the activity based niche. Our products seem similar, but are completely different at the end. Especially when it comes to the approach -> "Bringing people together!". Same thing with SameGrain. Same goal, different approach. But all are completely capable of co-existing, in my opinion

Cheers!

Good one ;-). Will discuss this with the team. Let us know if you find anything else: ismail@fourandme.com

The app lives from user content =). We've just launched it yesterday night. So please feel free to spread the word and create many creative and interesting activities. We will do so as well of course.

Come see us also at the Launch Festival in SF, March 2-4. Happy to have a discussion and get your thoughts :) We provide original Haribo gummibears from Germany hehe.

It's user content but it's your company. You need to jumpstart it http://paulgraham.com/ds.html

Thanks. What would be your preference and why? With our 1st version we want to learn from our users, so feedback is more than welcome :)

I don't use services with a Facebook login. They know enough about me as it is. Regular local logins should be an alternative.

I don't use Facebook, but I understand that a lot of people are uncomfortable with meeting random strangers from the internet unless they've already posted a lot of information about themselves online.

Regular logins were once popular.

I think social login is fine as long as you give people a bunch of options (twitter, gmail, fb etc) If you give one option at the beginning it should be non-exclusive

Go see how Reddit did their registration. You don't even need an email.

This is more like AirBnB than Reddit.

We believe that networking in small groups is more powerful than bigger meetups. We did a dozen of 'tests' with friends and came to the conclusion that having more than five people in an activity harms the fun. Example: going out for drinks and getting a table in a big city like Berlin or San Francisco with 6,7,8 people is not always easy if not having made a reservation timely... Same dilemma going out for dinner, doing sports activities etc.

Thanks =). Check out www.fourandme.com

Oh, this really isn't going to work in Europe or Rest of World where iPhone just isn't dominant.

Shame, looks like a good idea. But no web site, and no Android = no use.

I wish I could actually use the service by pointing a browser at this url. You're artificially limiting yourself to iOS users.

It is sort of ironic that your mascots are 5 androids.

Ignore them. You can't serve everyone.

Our hypothesis is that people will connect with others online and get together for activities offline. We want to provide the flexibility to do activities of any kind everywhere, e.g. joining for a run in the morning in city A with two persons, going for a coffee after lunch in city B with one person and having dinner+drinks in city C with four persons.
