HackerCouch is couchsurfing for Hackers. Here's how it goes:

• Fork this repo
• Add your own markdown file with your nick (perhaps twitter/github handle?) in the _couches directory
• You file a Pull Request on github
• Make sure the build passes
• Go check hackercouch.com the next time you are travelling.

See add.md for more detailed instructions.

The idea isn't new, it has been tried before as well. The reason I'm trying this again is:

• I love the idea of a Fork->PR->Merge->Publish flow with almost zero effort.
• hackercouch.com was available.

I also made a similar PR-based DNS redirect service called lightsaber recently.

HackerCouch uses Jekyll Collections, which is a feature I really like. Hosted on github-pages, duh. Builds use travis, and make sure that the site has proper html before its deployed

• The original hackercouch project: jancborchardt/hackercouch
• remy/mit-license for the fork-PR-publish workflow.

This uses Jekyll collections and the base Jekyll theme. The very little code here is licensed under the MIT License. However, everything under the _couches directory is licensed under the CC0 license. If you file a PR to this repo, you agree to having your "couch information" available under this license.

The minimum required information is your nick, city and country code.
