The barrier to entry is already high for many people. Filing a PR is sufficiently easy, but you also need a GitHub account for the same.<p>I launched HackerCouch at hackbeach this year, and the first few people on there are friends who I know personally, so it was kinda invite-only to start with. But I don&#x27;t want HC to become the one-stop couchsurfing website for everyone. I want it to be a cool way to find like-minded people where you are travelling.
