I've been a beta tester (WHA Pioneer) for the past few months, and have added or updated dozens of coffee shops in several cities.
Cody and Benson have built a unique product here that solves finding a coffee shop you can work from. I've been impressed with the attention they've paid to their community along the way.
Highly recommended.
Hey PHunters! I’m Benson, co-creator of Work Hard Anywhere, an iPhone (Android to come) app that helps you discover the best laptop-friendly cafes & workspaces.
Work may be hard, but finding a place to work shouldn’t be.
Before WHA, my buddy Cody (@cokodude) and I bootstrapped several projects in the past, and since we don’t live near each other, we'd meet up at cafes and libraries to get work done together. It’s always a gamble to find places with outlets, seats, and WiFi to work from, so we began building Work Hard Anywhere to track the ones we’ve been to.
We’ve spent the past 10 months building this app with our community of freelancers, entrepreneurs, students, travelers, and remote workers, who currently use our app to explore 2500+ locations across 600 cities countries. We're not funded or backed by PR firms; just two techies who wanted to solve a problem we had (except we built this one from cafes, and not our garage).
Ask us anything! Feedback/criticism super welcome, thanks!
Big fan of your instagram page's curated content! keep up the great work

I've been using WHA for a few months, and as a student, I have to say it's my go-to for finding cool spots to go study! I even use it for discovering new places while traveling. Will definitely recommend it now that it's available to everyone. Great job guys!
@cokodude@imaginaryzebra someone in our Amsterdam nomad list shared this, cool concept! Is the top rated algorithm not working? The top rated in SF for example shows 4 random locations above the fold,all of which are under four reviews..

I love this. I have been using it for about 2 months and it's helped me plan where I will work from when I am in SF at the end of the month! :D Great tool.
@jaysteruk Woohoo thanks! I hope you find it useful, and if not, please don't hesitate to let us know why!

@imaginaryzebra submitted 6 of my DC haunts to get us going here. One thing that's missing for me is the outdoor seating situation (and whether wifi reaches out there) and how comfortable the seating is (which can make a difference after several hours in the same place). Thanks for building this!
@itsofrischial Hey Jeremy, thanks for giving WHA a try and adding those spots! Users can power-up a spot (the lightning button) to fill out more details for each spot, including outdoor seating availability. We haven’t asked users about the other attributes you’ve mentioned, but we’ll look into it and put it on our to-do list!
