Why did you create something custom instead of contributing to open streetmaps and using the data from there? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:internet_access

Checked on overpass turbo and there is already a large amount of cafes listed with internet access: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1BeP

One can always make creative frontends for OpenStreetMap data, while participating in the shared crowdsourcing.

Some people just want to make one of their own and I think it’s good
UI/UX, the ease of use + aesthetically pleasing to look at. :D
You can still provide all this while contributing to and using the data
Overpass is great, thanks for sharing that.
