A community-curated list of cafes, libraries, and workspaces worldwide with power and wifi for remote work and hacking.
Awesome Hacking Locations is a crowdsourced directory of public spaces—like cafes, libraries, and co-working spots—that are suitable for remote work and coding. It solves the problem of finding reliable places with power and wifi while traveling or working locally. The list is organized geographically and details amenities to help users choose where to work.
Digital nomads, remote workers, freelancers, and developers who need to find productive workspaces with internet and power while on the move or in new cities.
Unlike generic venue lists, it focuses specifically on hacker-friendly amenities, is community-maintained for accuracy, and is free and open-source—offering a practical, global resource curated by those who use it daily.
:computer: :coffee: List of Awesome Hacking Locations, organised by Country and City, listing if it features power and wifi
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Organized by country and city, spanning six continents with structured tables for each location, such as detailed entries from Austria to the United States.
Curated via GitHub pull requests, as mentioned in the README's 'Contribute' section, ensuring fresh data from actual users who vet spots for amenities.
Prioritizes places without long-term commitments, explicitly excluding subscription-based spots unless no membership is required, per the contribution guidelines.
Each entry specifies essentials like wifi, power outlets, and open hours, with some including speed test results or notes on coffee quality, as seen in listings for Copenhagen and Lisbon.
Many entries note closures or missing spots, such as 'No hacking locations reported after the closure' in cities like Hong Kong and Seoul, indicating outdated information due to sporadic updates.
The list is a static markdown file without search functionality or filters by amenities, making it cumbersome to find specific criteria like 24/7 access or high-speed wifi.
Some locations have rich details with speed tests, while others are minimal or have placeholder text like 'No spots now,' leading to uneven user experience across regions.
