A minimalist thrift marketplace built for college campuses in India.
Helping students & small businesses connect through pre-owned goods.
- Post & browse pre-loved items
- Request specific items & get matched
- Chat system for direct communication
- Verification system for trusted exchanges
Thriftee isn’t just a thrift store — it’s a movement.
We aim to empower people and small businesses through sustainable buying, verified sellers, and community-driven exchanges.
Thriftee is a full-stack web platform built with Next.js, Supabase, and TailwindCSS — designed with simplicity and speed in mind. Born from the student experience, Thriftee solves the everyday problem of unused items lying around, while helping others find affordable essentials.
This project is currently focused on student ecosystems and active thrift local communities, but it’s scalable to broader hyperlocal communities and small businesses.
