The basic idea of Sugar Cup is that neighbor:ins can network with each other with the intention:

To sell items that are no longer needed or to inquire about them
Borrow items or ask for something to borrow
Offer support and ask for it
Publish events
Sharing news in the environment with neighbors

Participation for neighbors is free of charge.

How is Sugar Cup different from Facebook groups, WhatsApp groups or mailing lists?

Sugar Cup is a closed network. Participation is only possible via registration. In addition, third parties from the outside cannot take a look at your neighborhood. It is completely reserved for the neighbors. Thus, a trustful exchange among neighbors can take place. At the same time, the functions of Sugar Cup are different from Facebook or WhatsApp groups. They are 100% tailored to exchanging information with your neighbors. Likewise, in the default setting, you only see ads and posts within a radius of about 1,000 meters - exactly the radius that you would otherwise have with neighbors.
