An easy way to borrow everyday things you might not already have or don't want to buy, all from your neighborhood. Power drills, sushi-making kits, camping gear,-- join our community to help one another toward a more sustainable future.
In Germany there's a similar service called "nebenan.de", you could check them out for some inspiration

I'm really excited about this! Everyone on my street has their own snowblower, lawnmower etc. and it just seems so wasteful when we could all just borrow/share. I've joined your waitlist!

Sounds like a really useful product. Big congratulations on the launch ♥️🦄

This seems like a useful service, but will be really hard to build up inventory and control for quality and trustworthiness. The app claims that it fosters "trust and transparency", but borrowing happens through.. email? There's no way to report users within the app, and perhaps most nonsensical, for an app predicated on "borrowing", you're expected to <i>pay</i> for the privilege. Borrowing, to me, implies freely sharing items — whereas <i>loaning</i> or <i>renting</i> comes with a price tag. I want to like this app — but it seems like promoting <a href="https://oaklandlibrary.org/otll/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">local lending libraries</a> would be a better alternative. Also — ?makers — how does the app know how to filter the items in the inventory to items near me? I didn't give the app permission to use my location, so...?

Congratulations on the launch. But why can't you take an item in the regular general chat? Or in a separate channel of the general chat?

Can't wait to see what's coming! Our startup Clous, was initially an app for neighborhoods. Kind of a replacement for announcement boards and concierges in buildings. Super curious to see where the waitlist leads!

I do hope this will get traction. Refreshing to see something that's actually trying to make a difference.

Interesting tool! My apartment is pretty small to store a toolbox or ladder. Every time I need a drill or ladder for a small work is such a pain. I will definitely chek it out!
