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.

MODERATORS
E-ink screen is easier on the eyes, and also helps the battery to last for way longer than a phone would. Some people also appreciate having the compartmentalisation of a separate device that's just for reading — fewer distractions.
My phone is pretty heavy, and reading on it can hurt my hand after a while, especially as there isn't an ergonomic way to turn pages (the app I use can have it so the volume buttons turn the page, but they're not positioned well to do that).
