In June 2013 we got a new member for our coworking community at cocreate. leemon.me is a small iOS development company that builds great apps.

Cinema is the app that allows you to instantly check movies schedule all over the world in over 10,000 cinemas.

Quantify,  is their super-simple app for track, update, and share your numbers.

We’ve asked few questions to Alejandro (main developer) about befits of co-working:

Why did you choose freelance over the full time job ?

I like to develop my own ideas, work on my own schedule and also have control over quality of my work. I also want to create a company in near future and freelancing gives me more opportunities to network and meet likeminded people.

What are the pros and cons of the sharing the work space with others ?

It definitely increases the productivity in comparison to working at home. I can’t do laundry, watch TV or have a nap when everyone else around me is working. lol. It motivates me to start early in the morning too.

What are in your opinion the most important features of the coworking studio ?

First of all – people. You want to work with someone within the same industry so you can share ideas, collaborate on projects and exchange information.  Location is another important aspect. CoCreate is located in central Dublin and is very close to DART, LUAS and busses. That is very important if you meet clients on a regular basis.  I also like the fact that we all get involved into developing and shaping the cocreate studio and community.
