Hi there! I want to ask you something: how many members of this community have you networked with? Currently there's no way for product hunters to connect with other members of the community. Even more, there's no system in place to encourage connections between fellow Product Hunt members. I wanted to make a simple site that facilitates networking between product hunters, and after some research I've found Kismet, a project that did that but for the HackerNews community. Using the same approach, I've built the ProductHunt version over the weekend. NiceToHuntYou matches product hunters based on their needs and abilities. Please try it and let me know if the first introduction you get is a match for you ... I'm still tweaking the system, so please be gentle :) Even if only 2 members start working together because of this site, then my weekend hasn't been wasted. Happy hunting everyone! PS: Mark Hunter is a fictive person, so don't try to hunt him :)

@tonixx This looks very promising. I was looking for hunters on PH & you have created this. Thank you so much. I'll appreciate if I get help in promoting my product on PH :)

@tonixx Nice idea. Signing up. Can you move the site to HTTPS?

@ktkaushik Thx man! This is a very small project. Why do you think HTTPS is required?

@tonixx I am entering my data. Name and e-mail. HTTPS would definitely be needed. https://howhttps.works/why-do-we...

There are a few different slack & Instagram groups that hunters use currently. I like this as an additional channel to talk to hunters. DAMN AUTOCORRECT: Telegram Dope🚬

@dredurr I think you meant Slack & Telegram, not Instagram :) Feel free to share those groups

Hey! Very cool idea, thanks for this! Currently, I'm searching for a specific type of people to chat with. That type of people is not directly listed as a category in your system. How about custom fields users can add to their profile (just like "SEO" for example) and others can also select those new categories in their filters for matches?

@padannewitz Unfortunately adding the custom field feature would complicate the project a lot, but you can tell me which category you want added and I'll see what I can do. Is it crypto? :)

@tonixx That's probably a good addition aswell. But no, I was searching for other websecurity/infosec people out there. Not sure how many people would search for this though.

@padannewitz I think the HackerNews crowd is a better fit for that. You can sign up for a similar service that caters to HN: https://findkismet.com Kismet was the inspiration for building NiceToHuntYou :)

Nice idea! How about a few more categories to cover things that aren't maker specific such as investments, intros, monetization, or product management?

@tylerlastovich Thanks Tyler! I've received couple more requests for new categories so I'll see which is the best approach for adding them since the existing users haven't added the new categories to their profiles. Thinking...

Hey, how do you send messages from subscribers' emails? o_O I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I selected nothing in "need help with" and got matched with a person who has the same "can help with" as me. I'm a bit confused.

@gleb_sabirzyanov It's easy: in the code that send the email you have from_email and reply_email and those are filled in with the subscriber's email :) If you selected that you have no needs then a random person was recommended to you. The ones that will get your profile will be matched based on their needs and your abilities. PS: you can update your profile using the link sent in the confirmation email :)

@tonixx that's great, thank you! Does it mean that I could send emails from any person's address? Sounds hackish. :D Awesome project by the way!

@gleb_sabirzyanov Yes, in PHP you can send emails as anyone, but if the person looks into the header of the email, will see the actual email. Also, most email clients will mark it as Spam :) Thank you Gleb!

@tonixx It's very interesting as Inbox by Google doesn't show it. I opened the message in Gmail and the header there says "via sendgrid.net". In the Inbox, however, it looks like a normal email sent directly by a person. Could be a potential issue if someone knows that you are using Inbox. (Psst, hackers and social engineers, I don't use Inbox, and please, forget what you just read.) :D

Cool idea, @tonixx! Just signed up. We see a lot of people meet on PH, often exchanging emails or Twitter accounts to DM each other privately. We haven't announced this publicly (so keep on the DL) but we're introducing private 1-on-1 and group chat soon. 😉 cc @vesln
