24 alternatives to I made an app for coffee shops to go to work and network with others

Hey there! I realized I was compiling a list of coffee shops with highly curated reviews in my personal notes: chair comfort, Wi-Fi networks and passwords, internet speed, noise level, bathroom cleanliness, etc... It worked fine for me, but when I wanted to share my list to some friends I realized the underlying problem. So I created Workffee for two reasons: 1. To allow me to save my reviews in a more convenient way and share them. 2. To connect with others who are interested in this information, and who knows, maybe share a coffee and a work session together eventually. I hope you like my…

    Primary link: http://hackerscoffee.org I thought Coder’s Coffee (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4010355) was a great idea but disagreed with a few aspects of its execution (registration solely via linkedin, iOS app only, manual approval process, brittle: crashed every time I used it on my phone). I noticed the app had stopped working entirely last week, and went to the site (http://www.coderscoffee.com) to discover that the project seems to be no more. I re-implemented the concept, minus my grievances, in about 20 free hours I had last week (and also took the opportunity to make a…

    Built a small web app to solve a pain point I've had in meeting people for coffee in NYC. It's fairly crude, but if people like it, I think there are some interesting ways to improve it.

    It’s available on iOS now: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id6499280064 We got into specialty coffee during COVID and, like many others, fell deep down the rabbit hole. Along the way, we ran into the same frustrations: - A drawer full of empty coffee bags. - No simple way to track grind size, rest dates, notes—by bean. - My coffee history scattered across photos, screenshots, notebooks, and half-memories. - The unique traits, people, and stories behind each coffee disappearing from the internet once it sold out (since coffee is an agricultural good) - In our opinion, no…

    How does it work? You just write a short title of what you want like “24/7 cafe in my town”, a short description why you need it - “I like to work late, don’t like to work at home and all coffee places close at 9” and how much you would pay per visit. If many people subscribe to your idea, hopefully someone will see it and open that coffee shop. You can also see what others want and maybe get inspired. Or you can just use the website to track your ideas. What problems am I trying to solve? 1. Many startups fail because they build something that customers do not want 2. Customers do not…
