I want low-level programmers to thrive and feel connected and empowered. My approach is to create a conference that stands as a strong alternative to the behemoth that is JSConf. It'll take years of growth and hard work. Casey started the cons, and I intend to make them mainstream.
If you've started up a local Handmade community, or are thinking about it, let's chat!

We've brainstormed some things on the team about aiding in-person meetups with the site, and giving them streamlined ways to be organized.

It also has the possibility of kicking Handmade out of the "obscure unorthodox thing that a few people online believe in". Would you agree that in-person organizations with real, demonstrable results are good ways to legitimize perception and adoptability of a set of ideas?
...If this were paired with regular city-based meetups, it could really enhance the community and further the promotion of our general ideas about programming.

In Seattle I've met with a few developers gauging interest for monthly meetups. I have rather ambitious plans for Handmade Seattle 2020, so whether I can actually coordinate this is an open question. But if I can't, for sure one of these developers would take the mantle. E-mail me so you can count on a Seattle chapter.

I dream of the day I travel to some state (or country!), go to Handmade Network, and see there is a nearby Handmade Café Session on a Sunday morning :-)

Hopefully the other cities got in touch with you too (or you with them?).

I too have witnessed the intrusion of Javascript and Web into the mobile landscape, and I have found few people who are interested in looking at mobile development (or native development in general) from a different angle.
Also, if you're interested, my current employer leans more towards native methods. I'm working covertly to shake them out of the OOP mindset, and it has been mostly productive so far. Fast working software built in a fraction of the usual dev time speaks for itself. I just wanted to throw that out there in case you wanted a mobile dev job that isn't all React Native and Javascript.
