Finder - cs428TAs/w2025 GitHub Wiki

Pitch:

Have you ever lost something and just couldn't retrieve it back😭. Finder can help you solve that problem. Finder is an app that will let you register your items/belongings as NFT's and if something is lost, you can report it as missing and it will allow people within a certain radius of your item being lost know that an item is missing and then if anyone finds it, they will be incentivized and can communicate with the owner and arrange for a return.

Summary of features:

This will be a Web3 application Some core features would be

1. Item registration as NFT's where you can attach any metadata or unique identifiers for your belonging
2. A way to mark your item as missing and mark an approx geolocation of the item so it can be shared to other users
3. A secure way to communicate with other users on the platform within a certain radius of your item being lost
4. A way to incentivise the user for finding a lost item

Possible Architecture:

Frontend: React Backend: Node.js Wallet Integration: MetaMask Map/Location: Google Maps

I'm open to better ideas and suggestions to improve this. I really think this is a great idea:)
