Uber eats is generous w messed up orders I think. Delivering a large (cord) of wood is expensive for everyone. Load and unload and then find out it's smoky af maybe a month after delivery. That's an expensive mistake. And is also subjective. My wood standards are different than the next guy. Also Uber eats delivers daily and I might get a cord or 2 max each winter for 2500 sf house. Last, in nyc everyone delivers and always has, no need for an app. The food comes from a block or 2 away max or it's cold. The delivery guy comes up the 5 flights of stairs so you don't have to.

The minute you connect the buyer and the seller they don't need to complete the transaction via the app unless you are delivering it. Once they have done business one time they can pick up the phone. The fireplace isn't moving and the person selling the wood isn't either. Just stuff to consider.
If the people are serious about wood for heat they are looking for high quality seasoned wood bc a load of green or poorly seasoned or mixed wood is really a pain. For that reason they are going to go back to the same person they trust vs using an app to shop. One load of bad wood is painful. (We heated with wood in Lanc city row house in the 80s w a Swedish combo stove, I was the free labor to stack wood and manage the firebox. Many more trips w bad wood than a quality seasoned hardwood)

I don't mean to rain on your parade btw. But don't spend money on development wo thinking thru some of these issues.

A bundle delivery service would be cool. I don't want a ton of termite infested wood laying around. A fire is nice to have but I don't want to lug dirty wood around in my pristine white eldorado.

I buy bundles of wood from a guy around the corner. He buys cords and bundles them w string. Honor system drop money in the box. $25 for 3. Not sure either of us want to pay you for an app bc it's not that much anyway. Apps have meant the wood seller gets less, I pay more, some guy in the middle w an app gets rich.

Freedom! Freedom is not free.

Free to express your opinion. (Unless your opinion is in conflict w the religious beliefs of a school board official of a publicly funded school).

You have a federally recognized right to marry but the school board prefers that is never ever discussed. If you're in a same sex marriage and have children in the school just be quiet about that ok? If you're a lgbtq teacher you have that right but not in front of the children (clutch pearls)!

Wtf people.

If you're looking at a free ride from haverford bc you are top 1% brain you can probably get the same deal elsewhere and attend a place with a deep faculty in your field. Comp Sci is broad.

Figure out the interest areas of the faculty members who actually interact with students and make sure it aligns with yours esp in a smaller school like haverford. My 2 cents.

Are we gonna look at Jared Kushners billions in Saudi funding immediately after leaving the White House while we are digging into the laptops of White House relatives? He was actually in the WH making taxpayer funded policy while Hunter was boozing up whatever on his own dime.
