Krowspot

👋 Hi again, Product Hunters! Borja and I built this over a weekend. The story begins some months ago. As a person that works with just a computer, I’m able to work basically anywhere with WiFi and a power outlet, as a lot of Product Hunters here could relate to. Working from home is comfortable, but you end up getting tired of seeing the same four walls day in and day out, and the one or two cafés you know may not cut it anymore. One day I decided to meet up with a friend to get some work done. She would choose the place, and I joined. She took me to one of the coolest places to do work I’d ever been to. I had been living in this city my whole life and I had never even heard of that place. Since that day I started going there regularly, and also started asking more friends what were some other cool places they knew to crash in with a laptop and get shit done. We started gathering these places into a list. More people started adding spots in there, so a couple of weeks ago Borja and I decided to turn it into an interactive site over the weekend. And so Krowspot was born! The main goal is to make a really open and clear platform so anybody can replicate that same feeling I had of finding a new awesome place to work in – in any city of the world. Feel free to browse spots in your city, or add a new spot you know if you can’t find any yet! And please, let us know your feedback! 😄 P.S. “Krow" is “Work" backwards so Krowspot pretty much means WorkSpot 😛

Libraries are really underrated as focus places, I hope we can list them all with opening hours!

I needed this when I was recently in NYC. Great idea!

Súper útil y buena idea para ir cambiando un poco de lugares! 👌🏽💪🏽 añadiré unos que conozco en Milan

Enjoyed watching you two build this live. Would be useful to have on the homepage a top spots in each city for the biggest cities ie. London/Madrid so I can get to my city faster. Also maybe add "get a monthly update on spots in X" when you're on the search result for city X.

Pros:

Very useful - I often want to work in new cities I travel to - Krowspot makes that quick and easy.

Cons:

Needs more manually added places - Berlin only has 2 currently. A spot can only be a coffee shop or coworking space - many I know are both.

Great job! I really like it.

Pros:

Very intuitive and really useful

Cons:

Not really

Could do some improvements on alerting me when I’m done with the review, but the idea is great and there are tons of review criteria! 💪👌

Pros:

Nice design, clean and easy to use

Cons:

I don’t like that there are two steps: creating and then reviewing the place. I got confused
