Stoop
Native iOS app for photographing, geo-tagging, browsing, and claiming free curbside furniture across the GTA.
Stoop was my first public shipped product: a native iOS app that lets people capture, browse, and collect usable furniture left on the street. It turned an Instagram-based community behavior into a map-based product.
Curbside reuse already had demand, but discovery was fragmented. People photographed street-found furniture, waited for social accounts to repost it, and often missed the narrow window before items disappeared or went to landfill.
The app lets users photograph an item, add a description, auto-geotag the location, browse nearby finds on a map, search by text, open clustered map results, and call dibs on an item. The beta was built as a native iOS app with SwiftUI, MapKit, CoreLocation, Firebase Auth, Firestore, and Firebase Storage.
Co-founded with Alireza, published on the App Store, and presented at Collision 2024 as an Alpha team. It remains an important early product experience: a shipped public app, an App Store release, and direct learning from real users.
