(Started working on this 11 months ago, HN comment from 8 ago!: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44702833#44711006)

Inspired by my wife yelling "YARDSARD" every time we drive past a yard sale sign (and us having way too many knickknacks at home that I'm trying to get rid of): YardSard is a simple inventory tool built for yard/garage/estate/etc sales. This is my first non-pivot-or-quit app launch, & I've tried really hard to make it a useful experience for when someone actually walks up to you and is ready to buy your old GameCube game or t-shirt.

To keep this short: YardSard lets you create multiple sale "events", categories, items, etc. You can link external payment app usernames to make it easy for sellers to scan auto-generated QR codes that pre-fill item name/price/description on their end (this app doesn't handle any of the actual transactions between you + buyer), post-sale analytics.

There are 3 tiers. Guest (no account needed, local-first, local-only, slightly limited usage ["try before you commit" type thing]), Free (account via Apple/Google -- generous usage; unlimited items, events, etc.), and Premium (power user: cloud sync between multiple devices in real-time, backups, advanced exports, restoring deleted items/categories).

That said: feature I'm so incredibly excited about launching this week is the ability to find YardSards near you (https://ibb.co/yFLYg5fD), (https://ibb.co/cX81mdHZ), allowing any app user to 'find' your publicly listed event (listing your event requires a premium subscription, and is entirely optional).

Tried to keep this short, sorry for the long text. I'm just over the moon about finally launching something I've worked so hard on, for such a long time. I have so many more plans for this that I'm so excited to work on. If you made it this far, thank you.

Happy YardSarding!
