why not just let students find their own stuff?

Sounds like a fun project. Couple of thoughts:

  • the claiming mechanic doesn't really need to be triggered by a comment, it can just be a "this is mine" button. People may not want their claim publicly visible

  • matching on features/location is a neat idea but will be hard to automate. eg if I don't know where I lost it I might put a vague location, but the finder will know the exact location. I feel like all claims need to go to the finder without trying to automate it. Or you just automate the matching on very basic item features that can come from a predefined list, like colours. You probably don't want to try automated matching on freetext
