So basically I’m gonna be launching my business soon, a university specific clothing buying/renting service. Students can sell/rent out clothes to each other, with no shipping costs as students will meet in person to do the handoffs. I went with building a site as that was advised as quicker and cheaper to get an mvp going and test the idea, also cause apps are quite expensive to build and I don’t have the time or experience. Just worried people will be deterred from using the platform if it’s a website rather than an app. I have made the website extremely mobile friendly, and it has a chat system within it and things like that. The 2 pieces of it I’m worried about are pus notifications for orders, as these would not be possible and it would just be emails. And also the chat aspect when buyers and vendors meetup, while there is a chat system in my site users will have to have the site open on their phone browser, not sure if that will be a deterrent or not. Wanted to get others thoughts
