Once finalized, please share details here too (for the rare HN user in India who doesn't use whatsapp)

Curious how do you manage in India without whatsapp?

sanjayjc · 3 years ago

Very anachronistic I know, but I carry around a little nokia feature phone, which clearly can't run whatsapp. People then grudgingly agree to use some fallback. I know I miss out on a lot.

Sure Sanjay

Why WhatsApp and not something that does not make the attendee's phone number public?

desaiguddu · 3 years ago

Using this for quick & scrappy way to communicate. Did not want to create Discord or other chat group.

What about discord?

desaiguddu · 3 years ago

Not sure, if everyone has Discord on their phone.

You should make this a poll[1].

Good idea. Just created a WhatsApp group, it would be easy to do a poll

pritambaral · 3 years ago

Yeah, but now one has to use WhatsApp. If we have to take this off-HN, I think Signal, or even Telegram, would've been preferable.

I would have if it wasn't for the only option is to join a WhatsApp group. I believe meetup.com and many others still work. Let people RSVP, get a calendar, and you also know how many are tentatively coming.

Otherwise, just pick a place/time and let people drop in. :-)

Edit/Update: I happen to look up your username. LOL. Please call me and let me know. I will drop in.

desaiguddu · 3 years ago

ha ha ha! Will call you. Idea was to simply get a consensus & let the audience decide. More democratic.

Will not definitely join the WApp group.

Will not share my phone number with a bunch of strangers.

desaiguddu · 3 years ago

We will meet if this post gets over 20 upvotes.

Double meta, what a surprise to find someone you know in meatspace here on HN!

Definitely would have loved to catch up had I been in BLR.
