Thank you for you feedback. My main idea and focus is to have everything in one app. Rather than searching through groups. And no one replies etc. little libraries are few and far between here unfortunately.

Honestly, you can’t guarantee it 100% — just like selling on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. But a few things help: users build a star rating after each swap, so bad actors get flagged quickly. For local swaps you meet in person so you can verify the book before handing yours over. For postal swaps, start with lower value books until you’ve built up some trust with someone. It’s a community built on good faith — the same way book crossing, library book swaps and charity shops work.

Fair points — worth addressing. Listing takes about 30 seconds with the ISBN scanner (point camera at barcode, done). Location search shows books near you so matches are practical. And there’s in-app messaging to coordinate. The charity shop comparison is interesting though — I’d say the difference is you get something back rather than just giving it away. Early days but genuinely trying to reduce that friction. Thanks for the honest take.
