tvalentius··on Ask HN: What's your #1 productivity hack?
The nature of my work right now requires me to attend a lot of meetings (20+ meetings per-week on average), so what I do is block 2 days in a week for no-meeting days, which is Wednesday and Friday. I use these no-meeting days as a time to work on the tasks that require deep work and to get things done.

tvalentius··on Show HN: FreePizza.io – free pizza for usergroups, meetups, hackathons, talks
Interesting Idea! , but i have a couple of feedback :

- Don't restrict meetup to only cities. (For example, i used to run a Javascript community in Bali, called BaliJS and limiting our presence to only 1 city is limiting our impact, since Bali is relatively small and we have initiate activity not only in Denpasar)

- Using Google Authenticator is a little bit annoying, i think you can offer some other auth method like using Github or FB OAuth for example

Cheers,
