Hey Product Hunters, very excited to be here today. And thank you @gabriel__lewis for posting!
Hubble is a product that Kamil (my older brother) and I originally started back when we were still college students in Europe. The idea came when we were both studying in new cities or abroad and felt the disconnect from our surroundings.
Nowadays everyone’s connected to their friends & family (Facebook), people they’re interested in (Twitter) and their colleagues (LinkedIn), but what about the people in our own city? How do we find out what’s happening nearby or get in touch with others?
That’s why we made a simple Q&A newsletter back in 2016, shared it with a few friends in Lisbon, and quickly realized that we’re not the only ones with this pain.
After months of learning how to code an iOS app, grinding it out in our parents’ basement in Germany, getting accepted into the StartFast accelerator batch ’17 in Upstate New York and working with a few hundred users in several communities from around the world, we’ve seen a lot of use cases for our hyperlocal Q&A app:
- Asking about new places
- Finding like-minded people for a beer (e.g. foreign exchange students)
- Looking for a date after you got ditched by your GF on Valentine’s Day… and finding one 🤔
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Also we would love to get your feedback and invite you to give it a try 🙌
