Well done! this is one of the best "Show HN" posts I've seen. Solving a simple & actual problem, and not needing to specify what language or framework you used as justification…
meesterdude on HNGreat idea go for it! lanyrd.com is long dead without any good replacement. I'm not too sure why they keep the website up. What it does it only confuses people. I know that this…

Good execution and search
From 2 comments
+1 on the execution +1 to the request for the clickable tags - as that was the first ting I tried to do. Good job. The only suggestion I can think of right now would be to add a…
samstave on HNLooks nice. I've wanted something like this. It would be better if I can subscribe a search result.

Objections
Search filters for location and keywords are buggy
From 4 comments
The "Where" filter doesn't seem to work: Where: Germany "We couldn't find any results. Select other filters, or let us know if we miss a conference." Where: Cologne, Germany…
ghgr on HNNice idea, but buggy implementation: if I search for "Germany" nothing shows up. If I type "Berlin, Germany" (an event show up). You might want to fix this.
znpy on HNWhen I type in a city to the "Where" box and hit enter, it flashes quick but doesn't seem to filter. Also whenever I type anything into the "Keyword" box nothing is returned.
jonfriese33 on HNI am all in favor of side projects but I found a number of disturbing errors: * There are no conferences for either Ruby or Elixir * There are no conferences on bitcoin * There…

Conference coverage is incomplete
From 4 comments
Pretty cool! Still a lot of work on missing conferences, but hopefully that can self-correct if it becomes popular and organizers submit their conferences. Most security…

Similar sites and Lanyrd already exist

The solution for this problem has already existed for years: Lanyrd, Eventbrite and Meetup.

Location radius and distance-based ordering
From 2 comments
Does this do direct match on location only, or search in a radius? San Francisco only shows things happening in the city proper, no surrounding areas. Could be that's all there…
wanderr on HNNice, thank you for this! I would suggest ordering the events by distance from the typed location, instead of filtering with a perfect match. This way the user only has to type…

Email or newsletter subscriptions
From 2 comments
This will sound like a strange suggestion, but think about collecting people's emails and sending out an email every quoter or so with a list of conferences. Of all the…

Nice work! There is still room for improvements, but this website will certainly provide a lot of value to developers. As an additional feature, considering the target audience,…

Submission deadlines and price filters
From 2 comments
Nice. An ability to filter by price (and actual availability), application / submission deadline, and volunteer opportunity would be useful, also.
kafkaesq on HNSuggestion: Add the conferences talk submission info and deadlines, so you can use it to find out what conferences to talk at.

Is the data entered manually, and is the app open source?
From 2 comments
Are you manually entering conferences in your database?
garysieling on HNHave any of you open sourced your app, by any chance?
