Description

shareit is a full-stack MERN web application that allows you to borrow and lend items within your community. Do you need something for a day? Just ask for it. Do you have something that someone else needs? Just offer it to them.

By buying less you do your part in reducing your ecological foorprint, in line with the first of the '3 Rs' of waste management (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).

The server-side code can be found here.
