Gatech Lost and Found

During the fast pace of daily life, people sometime lost their items such as credit card, keys and wallet. So, People who lost the item don’t know whether someone has already found it. People who found the item don’t know who to return the item to. This project is to build such a platform for people to report lost and report found. It is kind like a bulletin board. But what’s more than bulletin board is that the backend would match lost report with found report based on text and geo-location information. Then it will use GCM to push notifications to Android Devices.

It is open source project and can be found at https://github.com/Peleus1992/Lost_and_Found_Android_app.
