Inspiration
We noticed how often items get lost on campuses and wanted to simplify the recovery process. Our goal was to create a centralized digital platform for reporting and retrieving lost items.
What it does
Lost and Found lets users report lost or found items with descriptions and locations. It matches reports using keyword and category filters to reconnect users with their belongings.
How we built it
We used Python Flask for the backend and SQL for database management. The frontend was built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with JSON used for data exchange.
Challenges we ran into
Integrating frontend with Flask and managing database queries efficiently were tricky. Ensuring accurate item matching and designing a user-friendly interface took extra effort.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we made a working model and working as a team together, and even though we're just mini coders, we still managed to come to this point and we are proud of it.
What we learned
We improved our skills in backend integration and data handling with SQL and JSON. Also gained experience in building user interfaces and managing full-stack web apps.
What's next for Lost and Found
We'll add image uploads and notification features for better user experience. We also plan to implement admin verification and analytics for item trends.
