Show HN: I made an app for coffee shops to go to work and network with others

Hey there!

I realized I was compiling a list of coffee shops with highly curated reviews in my personal notes: chair comfort, Wi-Fi networks and passwords, internet speed, noise level, bathroom cleanliness, etc... It worked fine for me, but when I wanted to share my list to some friends I realized the underlying problem.

So I created Workffee for two reasons:

1. To allow me to save my reviews in a more convenient way and share them. 2. To connect with others who are interested in this information, and who knows, maybe share a coffee and a work session together eventually.

I hope you like my app, and if you find it useful, I invite you to upload your coffee shops and reviews and join to our Telegram group (https://t.me/workffee)

Would love to hear what you think about it!

NOTE: I could scrape Google Maps and load everything automatically, but that's not the idea. My goal is for the content to be organic and created by a large community of people who enjoy working in coffee shops.

This is cool! I guess it's kind of like nomadlist but specifically for cafes? It'd be nice if the locations could be browsed by map, or sorted by distance from an address. It also probably makes sense to group them by city somehow. I'm not sure if it's intentional but it looks like there's a typo in "Annymous user".

Hey Thanks for the feedback! haha no, the typo is not intentional, is just my broken english showing up.

About your idea, absolutely, I'm working on a Map view and also implementing some changes into the metrics page.

Finally, yes, this s basically a nomadlist but for coffee shops but with a central focus into make networking and drink great coffee!

I always wanted to have a website/application like this (with a focus on specialty coffee), but it could be so hard to maintain and reach on a global scale. It might work for some local markets, but it's hard to get traction for such initiatives.

I think the same, but fortunately I don't have the goal of make $$ from my app, I just want to make a community of people that love work from coffee-shops and make networking with others.

If the profit appears on the future, well... It will be welcomed, but is not the principal goal of my project, so, from this perspective, is much more easy build a product like this with this mindset.

Please, tell me more about what features would you appreciate and I promess try to include it into the roadmap.
