@angeliquetoque what a great idea! Instead of renting the whole office like breather, it's literally just a desk. How is this different than Croissant? Maybe because Croissant asks for a subscription and maybe you are transactional? Is your focus only on travelers? I think I need to sign up. I have far too many questions! 🤓
@nassaraf@angeliquetoque Hey Naomi, thanks for your comment, we would love you to download and let us know your feedback. We think Croissant is cool (especially the name), and we think they have some great parts to their business model. We believe though that we can appeal to a larger audience of people, such as travellers, digital nomads and freelancers who want true flexibility in where and when they work. We hope that our model will allow us to expand into more cities quicker 🤓.
@dylankbuckley Already downloaded! 😎 I love that I could do this while traveling! 👜🛩

@angeliquetoque How did the process of developing sparedesk happen if you have never met? How was the culture and efficiency of developing it together? I think it's really cool that you guys made it happen with such a large constraint. Would love to hear more of the story!

@angeliquetoque@SpareDesk I really like your app and design. Very clean. I don't mean to pry, but I'm curious what vacuum you noticed in the market before embarking on this? Lots of the features and options people are asking for above exist via @LiquidSpace app. They have a huge network and allow bookings for a single desk to a complete office from as little as 1 hour to as much as 3 years! You can book a desk, meeting room or other kind of space. They show all available amenities and much more. How would you say you are different than them? Thanks a lot. @markgilbreath
@lekanb@angeliquetoque@sparedesk@liquidspace Hey Lekan. Thanks for your comments. Yeah we aren't the first to enter this space (and we won't be the last). We truly think we can be different. Firstly being global is a big first step for us, e.g. I am in London and can't find any spaces on LiquidSpace. We also want to approach the user experience in a different way. When you scroll through SpareDesk you see only desk space that is available right now, and from just one day. While we may do in the future, our focus isn't on meeting rooms or longer term (more than a month) desk rentals. We would love to introduce ourselves to you @markgilbreath.

@dylankbuckley Great response. Very helpful. So perhaps a hybrid of LiquidSpace and Breather, with the emphasis on 'real time desk inventory'. Fascinating. I've been interested in this space myself for years. I think the value prop for the end user is clear and needed. I think as you continue to work with the venue partner side of the market you will learn their pains better. The expected remuneration by size and type of venue partner will vary. Good luck. Kudus for launching this.
I've been following the process of creating SpareDesk and must say the team did a really good job. The interface looks simply, and the features are just right. The idea to connect booking the co-working spaces with uber transportation seems like a very well crafted idea. Can't wait to test it for the first time!
@francescod_ales Thanks for your kind words. Look forward to hearing your feedback in the future.

Amazing idea and great execution. Great work @dylankbuckley@angeliquetoque looking forward to watching SpareDesk impact the global workforce! It certainly is a tool for the contemporary endeavour age.
Nice one! Bookmarked, sure it's gonna come in handy... Now I only need to start traveling, but at least I got the right tool to help me stay productive.
