Tool Libraries: Help Shape Patio's Rental Platform

Hi HN, I’m Julien, founder of Patio, a peer to peer marketplace for renting, buying and selling construction tools and materials in your community. It helps people earn extra income, save on projects, and reduce waste through sharing. We also offer DIY guides, inspiration, and interactive quizzes.

We’re now building a dedicated tool rental feature and looking to collaborate with tool libraries to make sure it reflects how real communities operate.

We’d love your input on inventory systems, reservations, insurance, liability, waivers, and anything else that helps make this safe and useful. You’d also get early access and a chance to shape the experience.

If you’re interested, reach me at julien@patio.so Thanks for reading.
