Wasted 🗑

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure . . . literally if you’re using Wasted. Wasted is the one-stop app for college students to anonymously get rid of whatever, whenever. Leave the item at a popular campus location, take a quick pic, and post for your fellow classmates or university staff to combat waste generation and make their days slightly better. From over-ordering catering to that unwanted desk while moving out, get rid of wasted potential with Wasted.

MVP 🎯

• User account registration and authentication
• Users receive notifications when someone from their university has posted a time-sensitive item
• Users are able to upload/take a picture of an unwanted item & caption details of item’s pickup location
  • Posts are anonymous
  • Integrated camera
  • User can also choose picture from camera roll
• “Track” feature on each post, so that users get directions to the building where the item is left
• Post auto-delete once the item has been claimed
• Public comments from anonymous users under each post for item clarification

Stretch Goals 🏁

• Feed is based on urgency (time/date)
• “Seeking” Screen, where users are able to post items they are in need of
• Direct message original poster about item status
