About

HackerCouch is “Hospitality for Hackers”. To pledge your couch, you must file a Pull Request. More detailed instructions are [here][add].

The idea isn’t new, it has been tried before as well. The reason we are trying this again is:

• The idea of a Fork->PR->Merge->Publish flow with almost zero effort
• Filing a pull request is a great filter for hackers
• hackercouch.com was available
• This comment by @sirupsen on HN

Credits

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