ParkShare allows you to find others' spare parking spots to rent out for short-term or long-term periods. Search for a spot on a map and filter based on price, garage vs. street parking, and more. Owners can use the app to post their empty spots and start making money!

- Category: Marketplace
- Mobile: ParkShare uses the device camera and maps features to enchance the experience beyond what a website can provide.
- Story: Allows parking spot owners who otherwise would not use their spots (particularly those who have one included with their apartment lease) to make extra money, and those who need a spot to get one cheaper than many parking lots available.
- Market: Individuals in cities with significant parking needs, such as Austin, may find use in the app.
- Habit: Users would download the app to find or rent out a spot, but would likely not check the app continually once the spot is rented out.
- Scope: The required user stories below are comprehensive enough to be useful, but technically feasible for this project timeline.
