Need SaaS solution for p2p website

Hello everyone
I am looking forward to deploy something out of the box that fulfills the following needs:

  • It's a p2p contact exchange. (e.g. book exchange)
  • Everyone registers via their mobile number verification
  • Providers can select stuff they have that they can share (start with very few items, not like a forum)
  • Those in need can see the providers list, filtered with location, sorted with most recent providers.

I am not looking to build this, nor need any code solutions from anyone.

The question is, is there a readymade SaaS solution that I can host myself? My first hunch was Wordpress, but nothing specific comes off on my mind.

Your time is most appreciated 🙏

    I've never heard of anything out of the box, but this is something you could put together quite quickly with a no-code tool like Adalo and Integromat/Zapier to hook in Twilio for the SMS.

      Amazing, thank you! I checked Adalo, it has everything but looks like it only has a mobile solution. I was looking more into a web-based one.

        Ah, I assumed, due to the sms verification (and that most of the other tool-sharing apps I'm aware of are mobile apps), you were looking for a mobile solution. Adalo does do web, but via React Native Web, so your customization abilities are more limited.

        There are a bunch of nocode tools that might work - the thing to look for is that the back-end data store is location-aware (that "locations" are a first-class data object that you can filter on, and that has SMS verification built in, or can integration with zapier/integromat/twilio on user registration.

        I'm pretty sure bubble.io would work - here's a tutorial on creating an airbnb clone, which isn't too far from your concept, conceptually... https://bubble.io/blog/build-airbnb-no-code/

          @Edwardmsmith that looks promising! Will surely give it a try.
          Thanks a bunch!
