@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?
Patio
@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?
Patio
@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!

This is truely awesome! The idea of borrowing tools from the community instead of buying everything myself is such a smart solution — kinda genius imo. So much waste and money saved, right? Plus, connecting with local makerspaces? Love it! How's the tool insurance/liability aspect handled?

I’ve been on Patio for three weeks and it already feels like the missing piece of the maker puzzle. Yesterday I borrowed a tile cutter from a neighbor two blocks away instead of buying a $90 tool I’ll use once. The built-in quiz told me I was over-tightening screws, and the bite-size tutorial kept my drywall patch from becoming a crater. I even listed my rarely-used rotary hammer and got three rental requests in an hour—turning dead capital into coffee money. The map of local makerspaces and reclaimed-materials yards is pure gold for sustainability geeks like me. Only wish: a “kits” section where lenders can bundle bits (e.g., all the weird drivers for an IKEA kitchen). Otherwise, Patio is the first app that makes DIY feel like a co-op, not a solo chore.

@cruise_chen Thanks so much for sharing your Patio experience! I’m thrilled you saved $90 on a tile cutter, leveled up your drywall game with our quizzes and tutorials, and even turned your hammer into coffee money. Your “kits” idea is fantastic, bundling tool bits for specific projects would be a great addition, and we’re looking into it now. Thanks for helping us build a better plaform! Let us know any other suggestions.
Congrats on launching Patio! As the person behind bestofweb .site, I’m excited about your community approach to DIY and sustainability.
