Introducing Friends in StashDog: Add Pals and Share Your Household Stash Effortlessly!

Tired of being the sole guardian of household sanity in your chaotic domain? You know, the one who remembers where the spare batteries are stashed, or who has to chase down that one rogue sock that's turned your laundry into a black hole? Well, buckle up, because StashDog is here to turn you from solo warrior into a collaborative chaos-tamer.

The Big Announcement: Friends Are Now Live!

We're barking with excitement to introduce our new Friends feature in StashDog! That's right—no more hoarding your inventory wisdom all by your lonesome. Now you can add friends (family, roommates, that neighbor who always borrows your tools), send friend requests, and share items or entire collections with the click of a button. It's like giving your household a group chat, but for stuff instead of memes.

How It Works: Adding Friends Made Simple

Getting started is easier than hiding the TV remote from the kids:

1. Head to Your People Page: Log into StashDog and navigate to the shiny new People section in your dashboard. You'll see an invite card front and center—generate a shareable link or QR code to spread your friend profile like digital confetti.

2. Send Invites: Share that link with potential pals via text, email, or even yell it across the room. Or display your QR code and have them scan it. Easy-peasy.

3. Manage Your Circle: Once requests are approved, your friends list updates in real-time. Search users, handle pending requests, and toggle your discovery settings to control who can find you. Privacy is key—we've got toggles for opting in or out of search visibility.

Sharing Items and Collections: Team Up on the Chaos

Friends aren't just for show— they're for sharing the load! With this update, you can now invite friends to view, edit, or even admin your collections. Perfect for:

• Shared Inventories: Real-time collaboration on household stuff. Spouse adds the groceries while you're out grabbing milk? Done.
• Permission Magic: Set levels like View (peek without touching), Edit (add/remove items), or Admin (full control). Invitations expire after 30 days for security, but you can resend 'em easy.

Tracking it all? We've got events logged for shares, accepts, and more, so you know who's contributing (or slacking).

Why This Rocks for Your Life

• End the Solo Struggle: Collaborate to keep track of everything from tools to pantry staples.
• Real-Time Sync: Changes show up instantly—no outdated lists causing double-buys at the store.
• Fun and Functional: Share a laugh over a misplaced item, then fix it together.

If you're dealing with family feuds over forgotten chores or roommate roulette with shared belongings, this is your lifesaver.
