A Lost and Found website for college students. It helps students report lost items or post things they've found so everyone can get their belongings back easily.
FindMyStuff is a campus-focused Lost & Found platform built to solve a common problem faced by college students — losing belongings on campus with no easy way to recover them.
With FindMyStuff, students can:
- 📢 Report a lost item — describe what you lost and where
- 📦 Post a found item — let others know you've found something
- 🔎 Browse listings — quickly check if someone has already found your item
🎓 Built as a college academic project (MVP / Prototype stage)
