Are you on the Hacker News Tokyo Slack forum? [1]

@jason_tko (Jay Winder Make Leaps CEO who runs the Hacker News Tokyo community meetup that you mentioned - also on Meetup [2]) just launched it.

You could join and introduce your self perhaps ...

It's mainly an expat community but there is going to be a bilingual forum soon too, which is in waitlist right now - some Japanese language skills required for signup. [3]

Edit: sorry Victor - re-read your post more carefully and realized that you already attend the community meetup.



Oh hey no problem, my attendance has been pretty few and far between so far! Slack's not really my style (I find it hurts focus sometimes), but I might pop in there actually just to say hi.

I (along with a different startup's CTO that I'm currently working with) somehow missed the recent meeting this week somehow, I thought it was going to be on thursday, and it was supposedly the biggest one yet :(

I dunno who is who on HN (and almost don't want to) but the two hosts do an excellent job of creating a fun, not-awkward, encouraging, yet semi-professional and restrained atmosphere and I appreciate how hard that is. Also thanks to the other people behind running it, as I assume there's one or two more people in the background that are crucial. Also one of hosts introduced me to the existence of tethers a full week or two before the hubbub this last week -- so that's cool -- that kind of knowledge is why I come to HN.


Hey Victor, thanks for the reply!

It was a big event.

Jay's promotional post trended on HN. [1]

Also, Jay et al launched the Meetup page.

Hope to meet you in person at the Super Deluxe sometime - Paul Delhanty.
