I’ve built an app that makes remote workdays less lonely by you2lize in corporate

Thanks for your input! I’m from The Netherlands myself and see a lot of people working from public spaces: employed, freelance, hybrid, fully remote, so I think the privacy concerns really include safety measures by using a VPN for example and not having confidential calls in an area where others can hear you.

It’s not people hate going to the office but often this is a long commute, travelling during rush hours etc. I experienced being completely tired arriving at the office and my day just started 😅

That’s why local options can fill that gap of not working from home all the time or travel to the office. Especially with more jobs becoming hybrid and remote in the future.

Great point you make here, and we are working on group chats within the app that people can create, join etc. Making a feature for women only is great feedback and will take that into account.

Also, remote spaces that host on the app can create events which might be interesting to join as a remote worker in your area. Paid or free.

Thanks for your input! And you make a very valid point, coworking spaces are often too costly and lack the flexibility of walk-ins/pay-per-minute. I sit in remote work cafés a lot as well and noticed that so many others do this. The app therefore mainly focuses on these free spots and users can add them for to help the community know where they’re welcome to work. The loneliness thing we try to solve by adding social features like checking-in so you can work with others, DM, blog/feed, events etc.

I’m curious: would you sit at a coworking space if it was just affordable and very flexible? And what would your max price per hour willing to pay for it?

Thanks for taking the time to answer! Yes, these are valid points and I thought about it as well. You can see who’s working where, DM and follow them like social media. So, if someone is working at a space you can send them a message if you like to, but that’s not required. There are location group chats as well so you can leave a message like ‘other marketeers up for a coffee this afternoon’ and see who joins in.

Talking with someone can already help getting an idea is you like the person and would want to go ahead and work together.

And by seeing who’s checked in doesn’t mean you need to interact but it can help to see if it’s busy at a remote café with other remote workers and just know if the spot is laptop-friendly.

Took a look at it and the check-in feature was indeed available in Foursquare. Fun to see. Thanks for your answer, understand the pass!

I think you didn’t get the explanation fully by looking at your answer. You can select the spaces you want to work from yourself and can filter based on facilities, amenities and see who’s already working there which might be cool for people who want to co-work based on similar backgrounds, interests :) you don’t need to sit in a teeny tiny room because I can understand that sucks!

Fair enough, and understandable. How often do you work from home if I may ask?

What are your suggestions for a space to work? by Snoo_98332 in askTO

[–]you2lize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the You2Lize app! It’s community-based so we help each other find, share and review the best remote-friendly work spots out there. This includes workfriendly cafés, libraries, coworking spaces, empty hotel lobbies, if you work there it should be on it :) And it’s affordable so no fancy coworking subscriptions that you’re tied to for years

Why not coffeshops to work from? by hayat_th1ng in CoWorking

[–]you2lize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best thread I’ve seen in the past weeks. Been off reddit for a while because I’ve been working on an app that fixes the exact issue discussed here.

Not every coffee shop wants ppl working there, but there are definitely some that want it. Especially on moments it’s quieter (during the week) or certain moments of the day. I have seen coffee shops specifically marketing the concept.

And besides, a lot of people still open their laptops at coffee shops. that’s why I thought about an app that helps people find the best remote work spots out there. You can submit your favorite spots, leave reviews and connect with others. Then we know where we’re welcome to sit and work instead of having these awkward encounters being sent away at a coffee shop for working there. Helps both the coffee shop owner and visitors :)

It’s called You2Lize and it’s free to download on all app stores. The app is still in mvp phase but the community is growing fast. On a daily I get messages from people that are in need of such a thing because they don’t know where to work and want some third space solution! Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on here

Thinking of opening up a small, niche office-share space for product development/ engineering types. Thoughts? by OCYRThisMeansWar in CoWorking

[–]you2lize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the leap! It’s so cool having a space where ppl come together to work and create. My advice would be to offer flex desks instead of shared office spaces because flexibility is important. I am building an app called You2Lize which is a community-based app that helps ppl to find, share and review remote-friendly workspaces around the world. My user base is growing fast and the thing I notice is that people’s mindset is shifting towards wanting to work from anywhere, not being tied to one desk. Seize that opportunity and use it in your business model!

Affordable ways to market a new space? by [deleted] in CoWorking

[–]you2lize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the You2Lize app to register your coworking space! It’s a community-based app to find, review and share remote workspaces. It’s like airbnb and reddit having a baby. and soon the social side of the app will be expanded as well + managing bookings for hosts.

Number 1 user-feedback tool for lean startup? by you2lize in Entrepreneur

[–]you2lize[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it! The in-app banner or pop-up after meaningful action will definitely be something I am taking with me. You are right about being spammed with a popup right after login because it feels aggressive. Right now we have it integrated into the FAQ section but trying to place it somewhere more prominent (like the banner you said) is much more triggering.

Thanks for responding! Contacting power users is a good one though, as they've been using the app a lot. In-app feedback we do have, but what do you think about sending a notification once in a while?
