@john_man3 Love that take! 🌿 Might have to borrow that line someday.
Very interesting proposal
I would agree with some of the posts below and their main concern: It is just hard to trust someone else is caring as much as I do for my tools, right?
A key component of the proposal is to having clear rules on how do manage potential complaints when sharing tools and not everyone being as careful as we would like... the insurance and deposits will be key to create trust, it makes me think that if we are borrowing tools, there must be a subscription fee or the like that could cover the cost of the insurance. Or paying for insurance right out.
Sounds great idea, keep us posted
Whoa, sharing DIY tools and tips in one spot? That’s genius—my garage is a mess of unused stuff. Is there a way to swap locally, too? Love this direction!
@joey_zhu_seopage_ai That’s a brilliant idea! We hadn’t thought about local swaps, but it could be a perfect fit! How do you picture it working? What do you have in mind for the swap flow or features that would make trading tools in your neighborhood easy?
Love the design, congratulations on a launch 🔥
@danpole Thanks so much! I'm pumped you love the design, means a lot 🙌
@louis_mille1 Merci beaucoup Louis, c'est très apprécié 🇫🇷 Notre objectif est vraiment de rendre l'apprentissage divertissant et interactif et nous allons continuer de le rendre encore plus avec le temps 🙌
This is such a thoughtful idea — DIY can feel overwhelming and lonely at times, so blending tools + learning + community is brilliant.
Is the tool-sharing model local only, or are there plans to support remote rentals too?
@skyzouwdev Thanks! 🔧 The tool-sharing side is local-only for now, but the learning and community features are available anywhere. We don't plan to support remote rental soon (i.e. shipping tools across city).
This is awesome! Tool sharing + learning resources in one place could help so many DIY beginners. Is the community global or local-focused?
@sareaheher Thanks Sarea! 🛠️ We’ve got both a global community and local connections for borrowing tools, and we’ll be adding new local community features soon. Stay tuned!
