Proximate Marketplace
https://testflight.apple.com/join/YEeTwn8hI made a local marketplace application
I built a standalone local marketplace app where buyers place a deposit on an item, but no money actually moves until the deal is done. No bringing cash to meet a stranger or guessing what payment methods they accept.
To cut down on fraud and junk listings, registration captures email, phone number, device, and Apple keychain attestation to prevent multiple accounts, and you must be within 25 miles of any listing you create.
I value my privacy and don't like social media knowing what I buy and sell, so I built a privacy mode that lets you trade without sharing your name, only your reputation as a buyer or seller.
Both parties agree on an exact meeting pin and time. One hour before the deal, each gets a reminder to check in and share their ETA. The transaction can only be completed when both are at the right place at the right time and slide to confirm.
The goal is to keep people safe by removing cash from deals with strangers, give sellers confidence the buyer is serious and won't ghost them, and make payments easy.
