I 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.<p>How it works:
- Analyzes Google Reviews for keywords like "work-friendly" and "wifi"<p>- Automatically excludes cafes where reviews mention working is not allowed<p>- Extracts and displays relevant review quotes about wifi quality and working conditions<p>- Cafe owners can opt-out anytime (ethical consideration)<p>Technical stack:<p>- Next.js 15 with TypeScript<p>- Supabase for database<p>- Google Maps Location API for address/hours and outscraper for reviews<p>- OpenAI for generating descriptions<p>- AI-generated city illustrations (using recraft-ai/recraft-v3)<p>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.
