Great thank you, we really want to grow organically first.

I think you're absolutely right, no items, no users that can rent. Our main focus is to grow the database of items available, funny enough, our color is orange because we started as tools only, orange triggers a tool like feeling (thanks to home depot) ... We did think about broadening the categories to anything at your house, but focusing on a couple of local communities. Shouldn't make a difference if you're listing a chair or a hammer, the thing is we want to make you list something at your house.

Thanks for the feedback!!

I think you're answer is go put boots on the ground, get off the keyboard and start marketing it. Thanks for the response!

+1 for community outreach.

What the hell? I'm chilean, born and raised. I've been in the US for about 9 years and this depicts the problem the US has interpreting latin american news. Did you guys know Bachelet announced in an INTERVIEW she had asked for the resignations of all her ministers and in the coming days would work on building a new team? Whatever the single quoted person on this article saying Chile will have free higher education by March 2016 is looking for a job right now. This government is so full of shit not even the president could stand her own ministers! World: please do your reading first before posting about something you have absolutely NO idea. All this does is give more power to the socialists running these countries for their own power agenda and wealth. Chile's economy is where it is thanks to Sebastian Pinera, go research it. Like the saying says ... Socialism is a great thing! Until you run out of other people's money.

Thanks for the feedback!

To answer you first questions, it's aimed towards both known and unknown neighbors. We'll have soon the ability to show you which neighbors you have friends or friends of friends in common so you can opt for those only. How do you know you're getting the stuff back is by security deposit right now. Working on a long term more sustainable partnership with an insurance company and include it in the service fee.

Decided to go with the first. We're two developers mainly, it's been free to develop in our free time, why not build and let the market talk to us! It is exactly what we're doing, by trying to show it off a bit more to the community.

Lastly, all it takes is passion for what you're doing. Dedicating some nights of "oh crap it's 3 am I need some sleep" but you just can't stop coding. As long as you remain passionate and focused, you'll achieve it! We did this in barely 3 months 10-20 man hours a weekend. With all the free-for-startups infrastructure and tools we have today it's amazing how fast you can prove concepts.

Thanks for the feedback! I;m using the concept of security deposits for now, so a hold is placed on the renter's credit card. It's all under the good-faith of neighbors.

Working on a more sustainable insurance plan that'll be included as part of our service. If not, why not just go and knock on your neighbor's door yourself right?

Started this app a few months ago with some co-workers. It's my first shot at a client-server app. Been learning a ton! I'm originally from Chile, so I plan on expanding it there as well once we validate the concept.

Wait for the React web based app! Just came out of Fluent Conference VERY inspired with all the new technologies coming up.

Looking forward to your feedback!
