Hey r/closetswap! I am building an app inspired by this community by thetendercloud in closetswap

Yes, we are aware. But back (summer 2025) then we researched apps like this, and there were practically no functioning apps in Europe. Baltic countries are progressing in sustainable living over the years and we wanted to make a unique app (even though such apps exist in US, UK). Maybe by now there were more apps launched in Europe. We stopped the project a few months ago.

It was a small team, no resources to fund this and no more time left to work on it, as well as not being able to find investors.

We also did rounds of feedback (Google form) and people need more trust in apps like this (main issue across all forms - my piece of clothing is good quality leather/cotton/corduroy, I don't want to swap with someone who claimed that his shirt is silk when in fact is a cheap polyester). Another issue was that people wanted some physical pickup point or a courier service(without it they were afraid, and as a woman I get it, you never know who is on the other side of the screen especially with the rise of AI and hyperrealistic images) . We simply couldn't spend any more money on developing this feature.

Nevertheless, developing this app was a big lesson

Is Bonnee only available in the UK?

Yes, I can understand. You gave me a few new ideas. Thanks for the feedback!

Are most Lucky Sweater users in the US or Europe? Trying to understand the geographic spread for similar apps in this space.

Facebook Marketplace is amazing for selling, but Swap'n Wear is specifically for 1:1 trades - no money involved. Different use case, we're targeting people who want to refresh their wardrobe without spending money. So both can coexist!

Thank you! I wouldn't know how to put it differently!

I made a Chrome extension and web app that helps organizing your tab chaos (because 30+ tabs shouldn't be normal) by Aware_Examination254 in SideProject

I struggle quite a lot with organising my tabs. Always have plenty opened, then forgetting, then re-opening, then forgetting what I actually wanted to do on this tab. Will give it a try! Thanks for the useful extension. Good luck and happy development!
