'git commit' your favorite coffee place to work in

[jqb]

Reference for people traveling, working remotely and/or simply don’t want to sit at home. A list of places friendly to social oriented geeks. Add new one with use of github pullrequest.

It's an okay idea, but a pull request to suggest a coffee place is a pain in the arse, a drop pin and form would be much nicer, even for us who use the command line a lot.

That's a valid concern with this user interface. However, this might also work as a filter, because only real geeks will suggest a coffee place via pull request.

I would assume that the main reason for doing a commit to the repo is for the most part to distinguish a developer from a standard layperson - as opposed to any easier methods using a database.

I don't mind this approach but from what I can tell, you need to automate your pull request to deployment process - ideally keep it down to a few seconds and even email the committer to indicate that their pull has been accepted and can be seen on the site with a link.

Looks like your ng-cloak isn't working - you may need to add a few CSS classes - see here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11249768/angularjs-ng-clo...

author here. I'm using ng-cloak, but maybe I misunderstood the way how this should be defined there, or maybe is not working well with less.js.

Thanks for the link I will have a second look.

San Francisco only, but I've been using http://arethereseats.com/ for a while. It's usually pretty up-to-date (when it's not Thanksgiving) and has saved me from making a useless trip more than once.

And thus the term "forkbait" was born.

Actually I was thinking this is a great way to teach new developers how to fork, clone, push and do pull requests.

Nice! I was thinking of doing something like this some weekend. Wouldn't a database be better for the places instead of that static file?

I kinda like http://jlord.github.io/hack-spots/ more. (Although I'm biased based on geographical location.)

Powered by a Google Spreadsheet, so instead of `git commit`, it's "Add a row to this public spreadsheet!"

@xando - why did you decide to remove the authors.txt from the original repo? it's cool to see my contributed places on your website, though

[xando]

This wasn't my intention. Let me know what you need will bring it back, but as far I can see this file is not there.

[AsymetricCom]

Why would I do that? Why don't you got commit yourself some mturk workers instead.
