A great idea, tested the website just now (I am based in Seoul, South Korea) and a couple things happened 1. My location was determined correctly but not all coffee shops were shown (wouldn't matter much but the large Starbucks across the road did not show up so..) 2. All places show "mbps unknown" 3. When I first clicked on one place for details - got 404 error 4. Reloaded the page, tried another place - the page opened but now the "go back" button in my browser does not work so can not revert back to the map without reloading the page altogether.

Thanks for the feedback, @mynameisana ! I really appreciate you taking the time to walk through it. I will definitely fix the small bugs. The one challenging thing is to figure out how to incentivize the running of WiFi speed tests by users so there is rich local data and you don't see a list of unknown WiFi.

Great concept! Can't wait for the information to populate. Like Ana, some information was missing. I would prefer to have fewer locations in the map but extensive information for each location. It's definitely on my list to come back 🔥 I can see this information being VERY useful through an API as well

Thanks everyone for discovering this product. We're trying to help a collective of nomadic travelers discover the best wifi work spots. This last year I've been traveling through 10 different countries and one of the trickiest problems I ran into was where to work when the AirBnB WiFi was down or worse than advertised. By crowdsourcing speed tests and accumulating reviews and photos from our travelers, we aim to make one of the most useful free tools for digital nomads when traveling and working from anywhere. Next time your at a cafe or coworking spot you adore, show them some love by reviewing the spot. The next nomads will thank you.

like the idea and the simple design! in my hometown the information is actually not really useful yet. But reminds me on how i found great coffees by searching for e.g. "laptop friendly" in google maps. Maybe you can integrate something like this in how you gather your data :)
