I'm one of the developers working on Trustroots.

We're working on references :) I merged this PR yesterday https://github.com/Trustroots/trustroots/pull/1413, there is a bit more to work out for displaying them...

There is also a meetup feature already (see https://ideas.trustroots.org/2017/08/21/meeting-people-now-o...), it's a bit primitive right now, but it was a first iteration, and we've been discussing some next steps recently.

We are also open source! https://github.com/trustroots/ (with a node + react stack)



It's possible to export my data from CS. Would the Trustroots community be willing to have a CS data import option, for bringing in old CS references and friends?


You're welcome to join our team chat and we can discuss further (send me an email, address in profile, then I can invite you).

(most relevant, but dated, PR is https://github.com/Trustroots/trustroots/pull/1086)

(I also saw your comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23219900)

This is a big deal actually. From what I've heard, One of the reasons why Hospitality Club fell into decline, was that the code-base was closed source and the original developer was reluctant to let go of it.


The open source bit allows the ultimate step of forking the whole project, and that is important to me to be able to do that, but it's not a trivial step at all, and a lot of the usefulness is in the name recognition and the userbase.

But really, I want to contribute to the original project, and given I am not the original developer, it still relies on the them (and any other founders) to open up contributions. Fortunately, in this case, they have :)


Whats the size of the current userbase and how many off your users are active?
