Love the idea of this: it's an app that encourages the lending and borrowing of everyday objects. Need a drill? Don't buy it, just request it, and borrow it from someone else!
Hey, Product Hunters!
We are happy to be hunted and to get the chance to discuss our solution for stuffsharing in this awesome community!
Let me tell you what thangs is about: thangs is an iOS and Android app which simplifies and encourages the lending and borrowing of everyday objects between friends e.g. objects like a drill or sports equipment like a surfboard, but there are no limits. With friends we mean your address book contacts, the people you exchanged your mobile phone number with. With thangs it is easy to ask them for a product you would like to borrow. The simple interface allows you to answer incoming requests with only one tap. No more action required to help your friends in the first place, just one simple tap on a yes or no button. Afterwards communication about time and place for the exchange can happen.
And because giving things back on time is always a huge issue, we’ve integrated the lend list. This list helps you to keep track of all the things you've shared. Because there's nothing more painful than to run after your shared stuff.
But enough from ourselves now. We would love to hear what you think about thangs and can't wait to answer all of your questions – let’s discuss! 🙂
Great app! But I would like to have a choice, if I want to ask people only from my address book the thing I need or ask strangers from my city as well.
@ekaterina_kharitonova thank you – we appreciate that you like it! :) You will have later when more people use thangs, because otherwise you would be very lonely in your city now. For now we start with friends and open up the network later on.
