Hey @Margacamps I love the idea! About 15 years ago I tried something similar but
a) The model was to charge the location end (free listings but extended profiles and featured profiles and number 1 - 3 spots in location finding were paid)
b) I was way too early - it was the first wave of digital nomads and not anywhere near enough people or traction outside of a few key locations
So I'm someone who works from cafes, coworks and libraries and bookshops, who would definitely use this but these days it would be more on my slow or work travels. I would pay a small amount IF it was really extensive - i.e. I could get comprehensive results for wherever I'm going that would mean I don't need to use google, instagram and bonus points for mentioning if there are power outlets and veggie options/smoothies/juices and if it's paid (i.e in Paris there's a fab bookshop with a cafe cowork where you pay by the hour/half day or day from memory). That doesn't really help you though because I'd not be an early adopter - I live in a small town.
I wouldn't need the newsletter for the payment - I'd be unlikely to read it as I largely stay away from tech/digital nomad/business style emails and accounts these days.
Maybe worth focusing on building out some specific locations first? It's a tough thing to build a global database that's curated!
