Welcome! I created Lendzen out of the belief that there is too much stuff in the world. When we want to try something new, our inclination is often to buy it. But there's lots of stuff already in circulation, and lots of people willing to share it with you. With LendZen, you can search for cool stuff you want to try before you buy or use for only a short period of time. You can also post stuff you want to lend out to friends around you (and make some extra $$ in the process!). It's a win win for everyone, and a +1 in the fight against over-consumerism.
*Initial idea *Sketching out wireframes and user stories *Converting wireframes to Sketch App designs *Coding designs into HTML/CSS accordingly
