Show HN: A directory of work-friendly cafes powered by Google Reviews analysis
awifi.placeI built awifi.place to solve the problem of finding cafes where working is actually allowed. Instead of manual curation, it uses Google Reviews analysis to identify suitable places.
How it works: - Analyzes Google Reviews for keywords like "work-friendly" and "wifi"
- Automatically excludes cafes where reviews mention working is not allowed
- Extracts and displays relevant review quotes about wifi quality and working conditions
- Cafe owners can opt-out anytime (ethical consideration)
Technical stack:
- Next.js 15 with TypeScript
- Supabase for database
- Google Maps Location API for address/hours and outscraper for reviews
- OpenAI for generating descriptions
- AI-generated city illustrations (using recraft-ai/recraft-v3)
Currently covering multiple cities worldwide, but I am looking for feedback on the approach and suggestions for additional features before I continue with the next city as its quite pricey to retrieve the reviews.
