Ask HN: Would you pay for a shared office/startup space? What would it need?

As a freelancer working at home, I would love such a space. Working at home is boring and lonely. and coffeeshops are distracting and have poor internet connectivity. I know coworking spaces exist, but there are none currently that really fill all of my needs.

An affordable space where I could work surrounded by hackers would be very nice. Definitely interested.

depending on what you need, you could just download all the documentation you need and have your email client and calendars sync up later on.

Libraries with Wi Fi are a great place to work unless you need to take a lot of calls.

That's actually a good idea which I did some research into around south east London (I live near Canada Water/Surrey Quays)

Southwark council to have a list of libraries that offer WiFi:

I haven't tried them yet, as I haven't begun my work-at-home stint, but will definitely look into them for a change of scenery once in a while.
