CodeNearby — where developers actually connect

As a developer, I was frustrated.
GitHub is great for code, but not for connection.
LinkedIn? Feels like a recruiter trap.
Discord? Overwhelming noise.

I just wanted a way to find other devs like me — people who code in the same stack, care about the same kind of projects, and are actually building things.

So I built CodeNearby:
An AI-powered, open-source networking platform where developers can:

• Match with others based on GitHub data, tech stack, and goals

• Discover collaborators near them (or remote)

• Chat instantly, host hackathons, and share updates in a real-time feed

• Cut through the noise and find serious builders

It’s like Tinder meets GitHub — minus the swiping, plus AI.

I’d love your feedback, early users, contributions, and maybe a few folks who get it and want to push this forward with me.
