Field notes
WeShopping organizes small-scale exchange around existing social circles rather than a public marketplace. A group URL acts as the membership key: users open it, log in, and can post an item with a price or a zero-yen giveaway. The page shows example groups of 24 and 31 members, and allows one item to appear in multiple groups while limiting visibility to each member’s own circles. Payments and handoffs happen in person.
