#2Hello HN! Workfrom was developed to help people find the best places to get work done. We look at WiFi, access to power, background noise, food options and more. We're expanding to new cities (US and international) and we rely on our community to help hunt down and source places we list. Anyone can add a location via our site. We'd love help finding places and please provide feedback about how we can make this better!

This was always an idea in the back of mind to do. I'm glad someone else did it for me :)
Best of luck.

#5It's down right now, but is this like the hotel wifi rating (http://www.hotelwifitest.com/) that was posted recently? I hope so, I've wasted quite a lot of time in coffee shops with terrible wifi.

Sorry! We're working to get things back up. We help find the best coffee shops and cafes based on WiFi, access to power, background noise and more.

#9This looks really useful! This isn't meant to be a criticism, but I was wondering how your website will overcome the issue of people not wanting to publicize their favorite work spot to prevent overcrowding? Also, from your experiences so far, are cafes happy to have people sit in their shop for extended periods? My impressions are that while some places (cough, nice people in Portland) encourage such behavior, others may not take to campers so nicely.

Thanks! We've found that people are very willing to share their favorite places in an effort to promote the business. Business owners have welcomed our showcase of their businesses. Most coffee shops and cafes have long periods of slow traffic. Having people come to stay for awhile helps to keep a place busy. We've been told over and over that a "busy shop" is a "good shop".
