A small selection of dispatches and observations on the matter at hand.
Apps tracking shared apartment items are not just for hyper-organized roommates with label makers and a suspiciously perfect pantry. They solve a very normal shared-living problem: a living room, kitchen, closet, and storage area can fill u…
Roommate shared household supplies sound simple until the bathroom is out of toilet paper, the last trash bag is gone, and nobody remembers who bought dish soap. The problem is rarely that one person is selfish. More often, the apartment ha…
