Hey PH!
We ve been building something new, an AI-powered search engine for DIY & home improvement, built from scratch. The idea is simple: help you quickly find the right tutorials, guides, and answers without all the clutter.

Kind of like Perplexity, but for makers
minimalist phone: reduce your screentime
I see there less socially responsible/sustainable ideas so this is a rarity. Wishing you good luck! :)

@busmark_w_nika Thank you so much Nika! 🙌 Even for folks who aren't thinking about sustainability first, saving money is a pretty great motivator, so hopefully that in the end, it leads to greener habits either way 💚
It will be great if Patio could partner with local hardware stores for tool discounts. Any plans for that in the future?
Patio
@amar_yousaf That’s a great idea Amar 💡 I can definitely see how partnerships like that could bring extra value to the community.
What a great idea! This was a total face palm 'why didn't I think of that kind of moment???'. I hope it thrives!
Patio
@mo_ni1 Haha love that! Thanks so much, we’re excited to see where it goes!

Honestly, this makes so much sense. I've got tools I barely use and friends who constantly ask for them. A platform like it could make lending and borrowing so much easier. But what really excites me is the learning aspect, it's so cool that you're combining education with access.
Patio
@maklyen_may Love that you see it, tools gathering dust was exactly what inspired Patio! Not only do we make borrowing and lending effortless, but our Duolingo-style DIY courses and rich resource library help both seasoned pros and total beginners level up. Can’t wait to build this community with you 🙌

Patio is such a refreshing take on the DIY world
It's not just a tool-sharing app - it’s a full-blown DIY ecosystem. Whether you're just starting out or already a pro, Patio gives you everything: borrow or rent tools, learn with fun quizzes, explore tutorials, and even connect with locals.
Love how it blends community + learning + sustainability all in one place. Finally, a platform that makes DIY more affordable, accessible, and way less lonely.
This is the kind of product that actually makes the world a little smarter (and a lot greener). 💚👏
Patio
@istiakahmad Wow, thank you! 💚 That means a ton. You got exactly what we're aiming for, making DIY feel less intimidating and a whole lot more connected. We’re big believers in learning by doing, sharing what we have, and lifting each other up along the way. Excited to keep building this ecosystem! 🛠️🌱

@priyankamandal Thanks so much! Your support really means a lot. You totally get it, it’s all about sharing tools and knowledge to fuel the circular economy and build more sustainably, together as a community.

This is such a helpful idea! I have so many tools I purchase and barely use them, a rental is a great way to solve for this!
Patio
@debadrita_banik Thanks so much Debadrita! 🙌 I’m right there with you, I’ve got shelves of gear I barely touch. Renting lets us skip the clutter, save some cash, and try things out before committing.
