Findora
A trust-first product for real communities

Findora
A trust-first lost & found platform built for real communities — because a WhatsApp group is not a recovery system.

Structured recovery flow
The Problem
Lost items in my department were reported through a WhatsApp group. Posts got buried within hours, claims were unverifiable, and items rarely made it back to their rightful owners. The loudest message won — not the legitimate claimant.
The Solution
I built Findora as a structured recovery system — secure auth, image-based item reports, real-time chat, two-step handover code verification, and an admin dashboard for moderation. Every return becomes a verifiable process.
What I built
- check_circleSecure auth with email verification, password reset, and role-based access
- check_circleLost/found item reporting with image uploads, search, and filter tools
- check_circleReal-time chat plus 2-step handover code verification for trusted returns
- check_circleAdmin dashboard for user management, item moderation, and audit logs
- check_circleTrust points and profile stats that reward verified successful returns
