Show HN: Turn your home into a co-working space – when it suits you
Focused on remote workers and digital nomads living or travelling to smaller cities where there might not be access to many co-working spaces.
- mchannon 2y agoGreat concept, you have a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg problem where there's no places to rent and therefore no transactions. How do you see yourself getting past that?
- RasmusSoerensen 2y agoYes, I do. I am trying to get people to list in my local area first, and to get it to, hopefully , work here. And then grow it from there.
- mojjari 2y agoThe idea is unique, but I think very few people will be interested in working with this, as coworking spaces are already available and usually affordable.
- piterrro 2y agoThe idea seems interesting, however (and I dont mean to kill your spirit) I see one thing that could block people from renting a space: why would I trust a stranger to let them into my home? Similar to tenants: why would I trust a stranger and come to their house? Sorry to say this, but this idea seems like a predator magnet for all weird people that want to do weird stuff to others. Unless you provide some KYC process (which we all know is not bulletproof) I would rather stick to a cafe and work from there. Do you have any plans to tackle that objection?
- RasmusSoerensen 2y agoYes, as a host, you are the one that decide if you want to accept or decline an offer. Meaning that if you want to first ask a coupe of questions, ask for some pics or similar - then you can do that.
- sam29681749 2y agoI would find working from a stranger's house awkward. Also, if I was the one with the house, I wouldn't want a stranger using my bathroom. I'm remote and working abroad. Cafes and coworking spaces work fine for me.
- Rupok 2y agoIts basically airbnb but for workspaces?
- RasmusSoerensen 2y agokind of. But the host is there at the same time as the renter. So, maybe more like couchSurfing but for desks.
