Show HN: I'm building a IMDB for tech events and tech speakers http://ift.tt/2weeDVp

Show HN: I'm building a IMDB for tech events and tech speakers Eventil [1] is a (yet another) website that lists tech events [2] and their participants: attendees, speakers & organizers [3]. You can filter events by topic [4] & location [5]. You can find events where Call for Papers (CFP) is open [6]. Speakers can list their talks [7] along with slides & video [8]. Users can access this data via a RESTful API [9] as JSON (I'm working on GraphQL implementation). If you're an event organizer, you can create an event page and enable CFP form. You can follow people to see their event activity (as attendee, speaker or organizer) as weekly email. It's a side-project. I've been working on it almost 2 years. In my spare time I organize various tech events myself. I'm most proud of PolyConf [10]. I've created Eventil to solve my own problems with tech event organization. There are many organizer features that help me be more efficient. My focus is on speaker profiles. I'd like to help fellow organizers out to find interesting speakers. I'd like to also help tech speakers easily find related events. A business model is being built around my insider knowledge. It could result in consulting projects through the platform. This is already the case to some extend. Eventually it could be automated. The project is in alpha stage. There are bugs, but there's also a consistent cycle of weekly iterations. Please bear with me. I usually fix everything quickly. I'd be happy to have your feedback. You can also submit issues via GitHub [11] [1]: https://eventil.com/ [2]: http://ift.tt/2weBiRq [3]: http://ift.tt/2fjQm9K [4]: http://ift.tt/2fkt0At...

A Google Engineer is reviewing all USB Type-C chargers on Amazon to inform customers which ones are safe for use on their devices

The USB Type-C take over has already started, and as this year comes to an end, we expect to see a few more smartphones and tablets hit the market bundling compatibility for the third-generation connection. As it stands, handsets that currently feature Type-C ports only ship with a single cable and that annoyingly doesn’t support computer connectivity, so if users want to transfer files to their devices, they have to purchase an additional wire or adapter. However, these accessories aren’t cheap, so customers veer towards the more affordable, third-party cables readily available on marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, but that’s not a good thing. Many consumers have reported that these chargers have caused harm to their handsets, so Google Engineer Benson Leung has taken it upon himself to purchase a selection of Type-C connectors from Amazon to test and see if they meet the standard specifications for use on his Nexus device. So far, Leung has been through seven cables and clai...
