Hi! This is my first post here, so | wanted to spread awareness about two bartering apps I found. One is called Zéya (I got this from an Instagram ad) and BUNZ (I found this app through looking through search engines). Both of their purposes is to be anti-marketplace apps from how they describe themselves. Where you trade one item in exchange for another. No cash is involved whatsoever.

so.... why should anyone consider this from a nobody that posts app links to things they just discovered?

I was just trying to spread awareness these apps existed because bartering is part of Solarpunk.

Thanks for this, it's the first time I hear about this and it certainly sounds very interesting. I'm gonna look more into this as soon as I find the time. In the meantime, if you know more about them and feel like sharing about your experience using them, or anything actually, I'll be glad to have your input.

May I also suggest something? Perhaps add in the post title something like anti-marketplace or anything like that, so that it is a bit clearer what they are for those of us who don't know. (English is not my first language and just woke up, but still silly me, by reading the title I thought they were currency exchange apps. And now my coffee is ready!)

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
You cannot be a large corporation.
The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.
