    Really cool concept. I'm always hunting for cafes with reliable outlets and WiFi, especially when I need to get work done somewhere new. The layout is super clean, I love that you can see the photos and the map side by side so you can quickly decide based on location without scrolling through endless lists. The city guides are a nice touch too, it's helpful to see everything grouped that way instead of just one big directory. I noticed there aren't any LA cafes on there yet though. Would love to see that added since that's where I'm based and I'm constantly looking for new spots to work from. The kind of detail you're showing (WiFi speed, outlets, ambiance) is exactly what I look for before trying a new place. Can consider paying for this depending on how accurate the recs are (ie are there actually outlets, how is my experience at the cafe based on the impression I got on this site). Keep building this out, there's definitely a need for it!

    Clear problem and I get the appeal for nomads, but this is a crowded lane already served by Google Maps, WorkFrom, Reddit threads and NomadList. The idea isn't the hard part; keeping global data fresh and complete is, and community directories rarely sustain that past the first city or two. I wouldn't pay yet: what do I get here that a Maps search plus reviews doesn't give me? To trust it, show a real data moat (verified WiFi speeds, outlet counts, live seat availability) and a reason contributors keep coming back. Monetization is the biggest unanswered question,
