Brew Finder spots work-friendly coffee shops

This is useful because it solves the real cafe-search problem: not finding coffee, finding a place that lets you work without guesswork.

• –Real-time crowd and seat signals are the differentiator; that’s the difference between a pleasant detour and a wasted commute
• –Wi-Fi and power availability make it more relevant to digital nomads and hybrid workers than a normal map listing
• –The product lives or dies on data freshness and local coverage, which are harder problems than the UI
• –It overlaps with Google Maps and Yelp on discovery, but wins only if its workability signals are reliably better
• –Modest Product Hunt traction suggests a clear niche, but also a narrow one unless the app expands beyond coffee shops
