OK, this web site has a terrible terrible interface. It uses these nonstandard recessed ovaloids and SOME of them are text fields and others are buttons that take you to other pages. It also tries to establish a HTML5 database without letting me know why.

what buttons/links are you talking about exactly?

Nothing sets up an HTML5 database, but it does ask use geolocation if your browser supports it

"The website “http://desksnear.me” is requesting 1 MB of disk space to store “html5 test db” as a database on your disk."

WORKPLACES, SIGN IN and Search By city or address all use novel UI elements of thinly recessed semi-transparent ovaloids, or let's call them extreme rounded rectangles. One is a text field and others are buttons.

The search function does not work for me. I typed in 'Baltimore' and received zero results. But when I browsed the listings I came upon Beehive Baltimore ( http://desksnear.me/workplaces/32-beehive-baltimore ).

Hey. We are onto this right now. Just having some issues with using a Google API service and request limits. Team Skype call is underway :)

Interesting. I wonder if that is Modernizer.js doing that without us realising it. What browser/OS are you using? I'll see if I can replicate it. On Chrome/OS X I never get asked.

Just a note to anyone visiting the site. We are currently having issues with the mass demand of visits and going over our Google API request limit.

Currently in a team Skype call trying to resolve the issue. You can still see all the workplaces available via the "Workplaces" link. Search and creating workplaces are the pages that are affected.

Thanks to everyone for checking us out. We will keep @desksnearme updated with the progress.

Cheers.

I like it. Actually, I'm looking for a desk to work at in Buenos Aires for the next 3 weeks. The cafes here are very busy and noisy. I wonder if AirBnB will enter this category since they are a "marketplace for space".

You beat me to it! I was just going to comment that this was the office version of AirBnB! Hopefully there will be some Toronto additions.

A few weeks ago I was wondering about AirBnB for offices. Wasn't sure if it would be massively successful, but thought it might make a quality side project. Good to see someone's built it and their execution is decent.
