What is Deskroamer?
DeskRoamer was born when I had been remote working and all I needed was a cafe that would not limit where I sat or kick me out at lunch time, where the WiFi was strong and occasionally I could have a quick meeting with a quieter environment. This tool was built to help myself and others find those work-friendly cafes around the world, rated by remote workers and digital nomads like you.
