Workspaces – Explore the workspaces of modern creators(workspaces.xyz)
Want to see what items show up in these setups time and time again?

I compiled all of the data from 500+ interviews into one easy to read report: https://workspaces.xyz/gear-report

This is cool but it just promotes the Kinfolkification of the home. And they all look the same / nothing like how me or my colleagues's home setups look. This looks very...... youtube and #aesthetic. Which is fine and there's clearly a market for, but it should include ALL workspaces not just Creatives one which is shorthand for like "Cool guy Creators / streamers / people with Instagrams"

The should give a one year window and pop round on some random afternoon. Bet they’d look a bit more like a space where work gets done then.

Victor’s desk[1] was the first that I saw that had some honesty, showing a laptop on a stack of books. Thank you Victor.

Not one creator's workspace is a messy hoard? This is an idealic, oh crap we better clean up before the photographer arrives, fantasy.

Here are a few non-staged setups:

These look like real desks people actually work at!

Why are these not on the homepage...

Nice! And also, sorry if my comment came off as mean about the site. I don't think so at all...I also don't understand why your first comment on the post went dead.

There is something very interesting about looking at workspaces. As other commenters mentioned? Does your site delve into non-computer workspaces?

not at all! was great feedback and something for me to consider honestly...

there were a handful of artists early on but it really did morph into tech-focused creators (designers, developers, founders, etc) mostly because the early audience and guests pulled it in that direction

These remind me of the various YouTube channels I have seen pop up over the last few years focusing on 3d printing and organization, usually of clean workshops or sterile computer desks.

They are usually very pretty and well edited, with impressively done voice overs. They are also usually about aesthetically organizing and displaying an exacting set of objects that can't be changed without breaking out the fulfillment.

I guess aspirational and satisfying to look at, but pretty useless in terms of actual working space organization. Should probably play "A Little to the Left" and get your pattern matching fix that way.

What Im doing wrong?

I have a 50 bucks IKEA table with scrathed surface, a screen from 2008 and a chair for 10 bucks I bought from the last companies shut down.

And no, this is not fancy :-D :-D but it does the job :)

The main thing it having an environment that facilitates you and your creativity. If that works for you, than that works for you

Or simply: that's what fits my home and what I can afford.

I work in a tiny room and the only place a desk fits is in the corner, so I have a small corner desk that fits there, with a ultra wide monitor, but I have to keep the laptop closed because I don't have space on the desk. Also a trackball because it's too cramped for a mouse.

I am curious why so many people use Apple Monitors but with a regular stand instead of the VESA mount version so they could use a better support, the stand is clearly not being able to deliver the best position as people seem to use different things to rise them a little more.

Having been using different supports throughout the years, using the regular stand that come with monitors always felt like a considerable downgrade and the cost of a proper support that you attach to the desk, drill on it or drill on the wall, depending on the necessity of the space, is usually negligible.

Because it looks better in these photos.

Guess I'm the only dude with his home gym in the same room as his work desk? In the Claude Code era it's an absolute gamechanger.
