The story

Sending a laptop from Montréal to Algiers costs more than the laptop, takes a month, and may never arrive. Every Algerian family abroad already routes around this: you ask until you find someone flying home with room in a suitcase. It works entirely on trust, which means it only reaches as far as your own network does.

I tried to turn that into a marketplace: senders post what needs moving, travellers post their route and spare kilos, and the app matches them.
