Anyone is welcome to use this web app at any point, it's live at https://meutch.com/ and I would love feedback from anyone. But as I think harder about getting an adequate initial network for this to get traction, I will need to focus on specific atomic networks of people who will share with each other in the same locale. The magic comes from having people to share with.

@samfirke I was recently looking for something similar to your Meutch project and found https://inventaire.io/ which is not a distributed library *of things* but just a conventional library for books.
I have not managed to find a community in Inventaire and properly use it yet, so I cannot comment on how well it practially works for the community aspects, but I have some comments on things I noticed in a few minutes of exploring Meutch, in particular in comparison with Inventaire.
Inventaire - your friends and communities are your best library

Make the inventory of your books and mutualize it with your friends and communities into an infinite library!

I found it interesting that you note that you
> considered a decentralized, federated model but felt like the downsides outweighed the advantages
Inventaire seems to be going the other direction.
From https://wiki.inventaire.io/wiki/Technic#Federation_? and related discussions I gather that Inventaire was originally designed as a single instance and is slowly gaining federation features. Connections between users are apparently on hold, but it looks like data federation has been implemented since I last checked.
