Apps for neighbors
who share things.

Book exchange logs. Wish boards. Tool lending libraries. Chore swaps. Bulletin boards. Seed libraries. Simple apps for the coordination layer your neighborhood already has — just without a working system.

Wish Board

Post what you're looking for. Get notified when it shows up.

Want to scope it to a specific genre or age group — kids books, mysteries, cookbooks? Fork it and set the category.

Your neighborhood, your rules.

These apps are deployed and public — but every one is forkable. Your little free library has different hours, a different steward, a different quirk. Clone any app and describe what's different about yours.

Or start from a blank prompt and describe a sharing system your block actually needs.
