Inspiration
When we first got out of the opening ceremonies, I found a pair of AirPods on the ground. Combine this with one of Jack's existing ideas, and we created a highly sustainable product.
What it does
You are able to sign up for our service. Once you do, you can add items to your account and get a printable QR code. Once you scan the QR code, it alerts the person that their thing was found. This reduces the need for GPS tracking devices, and fosters community involvement for returning lost goods.
How we built it
We used node.js to power the backend and connected it to a database hosted with Supabase. The frontend is built on React and Tailwind.
Challenges we ran into
We have never used supabase before and had some struggles learning it. Combine this with our limited experience with react and node.js resulted in a longer development time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very proud of what we have accomplished with regards to the UI as well as the database. We were very excited to have had the opportunity to participate and create something in a team setting.
What we learned
We have learned much with regards to react and node.js, as well as a completely new tool for us to use.
What's next for Lost and Found
We hope to flesh out some details, such as hosting it on a public web server.
