Show HN: Alquilame.io – Mobile-first rental management tool for small businesses

Hi HN!

I built https://alquilame.io, a mobile-first rental management tool for small businesses and independent owners who rent out physical products (party supplies, tools, event gear, or experiences).

Most of them run everything through WhatsApp. No complex platforms, no accounts, just conversations. I wanted to give them a way to:

List their products with a public link (or embed it)

Receive rental requests and move the conversation to WhatsApp

Track reservations and availability with a simple internal calendar

It doesn’t handle payments — those are agreed between business and customer, just like they’re used to.

The core idea is: stay lightweight, mobile-first, and build around existing workflows.

I’d love your thoughts, feedback, and ideas for improvement. Thanks!
