We won the 2013 OutsideLands Hackathon with our idea, OutsideLOAF (LOst And Found)! It was a pleasure working with my friends Andy Jiang and Jennifer Yip on this one! Basically, the app allows us to push realtime updates via SMS to people who have lost items. They can send something like “lost wallet” to the phone number we have set up, and when someone returns a wallet to the lost & found, they will push an SMS to the subscribers. Check out our video for more details:
Really awesome stuff. Hopefully it can help people find their lost stuff! 🙂
