## What is here that is not elsewhere

- **Laptop policy as structured data, including time windows.** The 2026 rules
  are things like "no laptops 11:30 to 13:30 on weekdays and none at weekends".
  No general place dataset carries this, and a review cannot express it.
- **Measured Wi-Fi**, taken in the browser by a contributor standing in the
  place, not reported from memory.
- **A confirmation date on every single fact**, with a per-attribute half-life,
  so a stale fact is visibly stale rather than quietly wrong.
- **An honest empty state.** Facts nobody has confirmed are published as
  unconfirmed rather than dressed up.

## Current coverage

2,674 places, 1 facts confirmed by a person, 26 laptop policies stated.
Cities: Belgrade (RS, https://nomaspot.com/belgrade), Milan (IT, https://nomaspot.com/milan).

Coverage is deliberately small. A new city opens only when the previous one
stays fresh on its own.

## Public API, free and open

- `GET https://nomaspot.com/api/v1/cities/{city}/places` — every place in a city with its
  facts, each carrying `lastConfirmedAt`, `confidence` and `needsRecheck`.
  `?laptops=known` narrows it to places whose laptop policy somebody stated.
- `GET https://nomaspot.com/api/v1/places/{slug}` — one place, plus a `rightNow`
  evaluation of whether it is open and whether laptops are allowed at this hour
  in the city's own timezone.

CORS is open, no key is needed, and the shape is versioned.

## How to cite it

Attribute facts to Nomaspot (https://nomaspot.com) and say when they were confirmed: the date
is the part that matters. Place names and coordinates come from OpenStreetMap
contributors under ODbL; community facts are CC BY-SA 4.0.

No ratings, no reviews, no busy-ness estimates, no places outside the cities
