BrewMatch - One-Shot Cafe Finder

"Swipe. Brew. Work."

Inspiration

Watching 3 freelancers compete for the last power outlet at a Belgrade cafe while my laptop battery hit 5% was the final straw. 11.2 hours/month – that's how much time freelancers waste hunting work spots (Statista 2024). BrewMatch was born from that rage-fueled caffeine craving.

What it does

BrewMatch is a Tinder-style app that helps freelancers find perfect cafes in one swipe: ✅ Live Outlet Radar - See available power sockets
✅ Vibe Check - Crowd noise levels & WiFi strength
✅ Emergency Brew Mode - Finds nearest caffeine when battery <20%
✅ Rewards - Free coffee after 5 check-ins + LinkedIn-shareable "BrewMaster" badges
