Community Gearbox is live

Share resources with your community

**Originally published on my website May 17, 2022**

One of my good friends has been working on a new app that I wanted to share with you. It's called "Community Gearbox" and it's a resource sharing app.

The way Community Gearbox works is that if you have anything you want to share with your community (like a tool box or a lawn mower or a zero degree sleeping bag) you upload pictures of those items to the app so that others can borrow them. You can also invite your friends to the app so they can add their own items there. You can even create your own group on the app so you can easily see your friends' items. You then browse that group, other groups, and the rest of app, and borrow whatever items you need - just like books in a library but even easier.

To be clear, I'm not being paid to tell you about this app; I have no monetary stake in this at all. I'm also not saying that technology will fix our problems. I'm sharing this tool with you because Community Gearbox is an independently developed anti-capitalist app that may help people to divest from places like Facebook and other technocracies.

This is a message from Dante and Michael, the app developers:
