In simple English
This tool gives you the front page, search bar, and checkout screens for a rental or service marketplace. It connects to the Sharetribe backend where your user accounts, listings, and payments live. You change the text and colors to match your brand and launch your own version of Airbnb or Fiverr. You need a paid Sharetribe subscription to make the backend work. It requires JavaScript knowledge to change the code.
What it is
A React-based web application template designed to connect to the Sharetribe marketplace platform. It includes server-side rendering, code splitting, and pre-built pages for user profiles, search, and booking.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want to launch a two-sided marketplace for items, spaces, or services without coding the frontend from scratch.
- Includes pre-built pages for searching, booking, and user profiles.
- Built with React (a JavaScript library for building user interfaces) for easy customization.
- Includes server-side rendering (a way to generate web pages on the server before sending them to the browser) for better search engine optimization.
- Requires an active, paid subscription to the main Sharetribe platform to function.
- Uses a custom licence that may have restrictions on redistribution.
- Requires Node.js (a tool that lets you run JavaScript outside a web browser) and Yarn (a package manager for installing JavaScript software) installed on your computer.
