Think a better version of Buy Nothing groups on Facebook, or a decentralized peer-to-peer Library of Things.

To be useful you need people to share with near you. This is the tricky part of networked products. I'm focused on growing it in Ann Arbor, MI where I live - but if you have a group that already shares stuff, it would work for that anywhere!

Up here in Mount P, a friend and I had created a spreadsheet for this purpose but it was expectedly unwieldy. This tool looks terrific!
