Show HN: A directory of work-friendly cafes powered by Google Reviews analysis

[m4thias]

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.

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.
