Ruffin actually sounds pretty fun. Like Omegle meets Meetup. I'd be interested in trying to make something like that too kind of. Might blatantly steal your idea for my next side project. :P If that's cool and all.

I just MIT-licensed it for you. :) Steal away.

By the way, pro tip: I ended up dropping the last two digits of the zip code in order to get a more even geographic region. If you go with a zip-code strategy I recommend doing something like that.

Thanks, that was fast!

On the pro tip, I didn't even think about that, the first three digits of the zip being a more regional classifier makes sense but I never thought about it. I just liked the concept and didn't think of any implementation at all yet past the idea of sockets since there will be chat, and some kind of interaction with google maps will be needed.
