Workspaces
Weekly photo tours of 538+ real desk setups, with a gear database
Tier B · UsefulGalleryDirectoryworkspaces.xyz
A long-running newsletter and browsable archive of desk-setup tours from designers, founders and developers, sent every Saturday to a stated 21,000+ subscribers. Each issue is a numbered entry with photos, the owner's name, role and location, and a tagged list of the hardware on the desk. Alongside the setups it runs a gear database with comparison pages, buying guides and ten curated collections (Apple 430, Designers 204, Developers 79, Founders 128, IKEA 159, Minimal 56, Multi-Monitor 24, Plants 61, Single Monitor 53, Standing Desks 153). It is physical-workspace inspiration and product research, not UI design reference.
For an agent
This is a physical-desk-setup archive, not a UI resource - do not reach for it when you need interface inspiration or components. It is genuinely useful for one narrow job: sourcing real, dated evidence of what monitors, keyboards, chairs and desks working creatives actually buy, which the gear database and collection counts give you directly. There is no API, feed or structured export, and every entry is photographic, so any extraction is manual scraping of prose and images.
Why it is here. One of the few setup galleries with enough history and volume to read as a longitudinal record of creative-tool buying rather than a sponsored listicle.
