kinza
Platform to connect local makers with users
Added a basic landing kinza.space using new for me preact, not sure if that's good idea, trying to find out how to add favicon to it...
Decided on the tech stack and mvp priority
Backed on expressjs with postgresql with basic email/phone auth and JWT for authorisation
Mobile app with four basic screens (items feed, your listings, chat, profile/settings) all react native.
Plant is to finish backend authorisation and login this week, with basic boilerplate and navigation for app.
Next week choose map to integrate, add basic creating listing and get them sorted by distance
After 2 days of trying to come up with a name for our startup, for one that there would also be a reasonable price for domain, we finally did it.
kinza @ kinza.space
kinza is Russian word for "coriander leaves"
its tasty when you add it to salad and sounds cool and seems multilingual easily pronounceable, also domain only cost 2$ for TLD ".space"
I went through many iterations from simple play around with related words like local, market, nearby, garage, bazaar, etc. Then into some ancient Russian words, ancient market and trade towns and landmarks even from middle earth (Dale, Tir, Ladoga, etc.)
Asked fellow IHs for help, and got pretty cool suggestion like "Neighboroot" which I liked but since I'm Russian based I need to consider ease of typing for non-english speakers and it to be something vocal.
Anyhow thanks for guys who helped, after 2 days it is a pleasure finally to go back building, next milestone would be shipping simple landing and maybe attaching sort of sign up microservice for makers to get notified about beta.

Hey Nikita, Kinza is a good name, but in case you're looking for something with a .com, I'd encourage you to give my product Naminus a try: https://naminus.com .
Not yet an accomplishment, but it is something already, have coded up a process of adding up new listings to your account, the lite version (only required fields), designed with mobile way influence, where user only enters certain field at designated screen, and at the end can check if everything is ok and ready to publish, need to do button to further screens where he can add further fields like description, tags etc
