## Overview

RocNest is a comprehensive, open source, and 100% free web application designed for sports clubs, federations, and organizations that need to manage shared sports equipment. The source code is publicly available on GitHub and open to contributions from anyone. It provides complete inventory tracking, booking management, safety review scheduling, and multi-organization support.

## Problem RocNest Solves

Sports clubs often manage their equipment using spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, or paper-based systems. This leads to:
- Lost or untracked equipment
- Double bookings and conflicts
- Missed safety reviews (critical for climbing ropes, harnesses, etc.)
- Difficulty managing equipment across multiple club sections
- No history of who used what and when

RocNest replaces all of these with a modern, centralized platform.
