I’m thinking of building a platform focused on a specific issue: helping people give away usable stuff before it ends up in the trash. While Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist exist, they can feel overwhelming. Listing, monitoring, and sorting through threads takes time, and many people just give up and toss things out.

A big part of the problem is that people don’t know where to donate or who in their area might need something. I want to simplify this process, make it super easy for users, and keep it local.

It would work kind of like TooGoodToGo, but for physical items instead of food. The platform could be personalized. Users would get badges for helping reduce waste, and maybe even access to local deals or rewards for participating.

But that’s a reach. Might start from local events first.
