#2"Coffee shop sounds boost creativity"
Is there any science behind this? The reason I find coffee shops less distracting is because there is usually nobody there I know to distract me. At home my housemates distract me, at work my colleagues distract me, in the coffee shop there is no one...

#3Couldn't it simply be that drinking coffee in coffee shops increases productivity, not the sounds?
In all honesty, find a quiet place or get some noise canceling headphones, coffee shops are incredibly distracting.

Yes, the science was pulled from a peer reviewed journal:

From the University of Chicago.

#5I love how there's a "growth hacker", as if this is an actual viable business plan!
This is kinda like saying "People who go to concerts seem to like the music a lot, so let's start a service where a bunch of drunk people show up at your house when you're listening to music and stand really close to you whilst talking or screaming at the band"

For you.

The science suggests the sounds increase creativity, specifically. That distracting noise of a coffee shop actually helps abstract thinking.

We're all very much part time, but that doesn't mean we don't have distinct roles!

The idea is more that there are elements of a coffee shop that actually help increase creativity, so we built a site that recreates that ambiance for people who can't or don't want to physically go to a coffee shop.
