"Stop shopping. Start bartering."
Description
A barter app for anyone who has things they don't need and wants things they don't have, where users can swap, donate, and get goods without using money. It is an app for people who want to get rid of any things they no longer need or use by exchanging them for new ones or donating them to a charity, and for people who don't have money and need some goods for free.
