If the cafes are so nearby wouldn’t I already be familiar with them? But if they are too far, would I really travel to them just to work remotely? That’s a commute, which is exactly what I want to avoid.

#62Sorry guys I'm so stupid.
If there are no results, the backend fetches the results from Google and injects them into the database. Got tons of traffic posting it here, which messed up the backend. Just turned it off :'(
Better solution to create a queue, cron, and occasionally fetch new cities...

#63Love the simplistic design - "500 Internal Server Error"
Sorry for that.. Should be better now
The backend fetched places from Google whenever there were none available :( Turned it off for now
A better solution would be to queue and cron it.

Haha, I thought maybe turn the whole cafe into a faraday cage (don't know if that is possible) so that no phones or internet work.
Interesting idea, but probably illegal in most places unfortunately.
Active signal blocking / jamming with electrical devices are illegal in the US, but passive devices like signal-blocking wallpaper and windows are entirely legal.

#65This is cool. Reminds me.. I have always liked the idea of opening a cafe (who hasn't !?) but I'd struggle with the modern behaviour of peeps sitting for hours taking up a plug + wifi in exchange for ~£$4. Hugely uneconomical for independents. Good-faith customers aware of the economic burden of their behaviour are a VERY rare breed.. So I quite like (/ethically hate) the idea of creating scarcities in order to influ…
We need more coworking spaces with cafes. Cafés weren't designed to be coworking spaces.

#66This is pretty cool. Unfortunately it's not valuable yet without other people populating it with data. Is there any way you can automatically get a first batch of data into it? Maybe scrape coffee shops from Google Maps and add them as not verified or something like that.
Yes, the backend fetched places from Google whenever there are none listed on Workmode. Had to turn it off because Hackernews slowed down the system OOPS

#67500 Internal Server Error
Should be fixed now, sorry for that..
The backend fetched results from the Google API whenever none were available.
Had to turn if off for now

#69This sounds like a great way to overwhelm a person's local business with people who buy one beverage and then consume a table for the rest of the day. If I were a coffee shop owner I would be wary of this.
Yea I am strongly against that. I'll have to figure a way to make it clear to support the business by purchasing every now and then.
