Nadaq

Nadaq is a web application where users can share things with each other.

It's like NASDAQ without the $

Status

⚠️ This project is actually a Proof of Concept with no stability and security warranty ⚠️

Please wait for the version 1.0

Details

This self-hosted application try to stay as minimalist as possible: simple to deploy, simple to use, simple to customize and extend.

To make life simpler for minimalists

The primary goal is to provide an ActivityPub tool for lending physical objects because it's a missing part of the ActivityPub ecosystem.

Concepts

1. An user share items to a group of another users.
2. One user may have many groups, it allows to share one object with a specific group only (with a high trust level such as family members).
3. To borrow an item, user should contact the owner, there is no availability, reservation or stock managment. The project aims to help create social relation and keep this human step.
4. Application can be setup as permanent service or for a quick use (at an one-day event)

Secondary Usages

The general idea is to share things (household appliances, DIY tools...) but application stay open to be used:

• as donation platform: for the exchange of seeds, plants, materials...
• as service platform: where the participants of an initiative can meet (such as the sharing of a personal compost)
• as human knowledge platform: were users can list their skills that they can teach to other community members
• as simple way to create web inventory from CSV file (books, board-games) with basic authentication

Features planned
