Hey everyone! 👋 I built Connect Everywhere because I kept running into the same frustrating problem: burning through mobile data while traveling, even though I was surrounded by cafes, libraries, and public spaces with free WiFi. I realized there was no easy way to find these spots without asking around or hoping for the best. The inspiration came from thinking "What if there was a Waze for WiFi?" // a community-powered map where people could share and discover free WiFi locations together. But I also wanted to do it differently: no tracking, no ads, no selling your data. Just a straightforward tool that respects your privacy while helping you stay connected. Building this has been a learning journey. I started with a simple map interface, but the real challenge was figuring out how to verify WiFi spots and make the community contribution process seamless. I also spent time thinking about the environmental angle – WiFi is more energy-efficient than cellular data, so this could have a real impact if enough people use it. 🍃 🌎 I'd love to hear your thoughts! What features would make this more useful for you? Have you had similar frustrations finding free WiFi? It will work if everyone contributes. Let's build this together. 🌐
