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
There are cheaper options, but I love my phone sized Boox Palma 2. It runs android on a midrange spec chip, so you can do pretty much whatever you want with it, including Libby and old libraries that might be locked to an app.
If you want to go smaller and the other direction on functionality, the Xteink X4 is cheap and really interesting. It runs on a hackable esp32 and will magsafe to the back of your phone.
