Lost item page if a QR code is scanned but user is not signed in

[philcunliffe]

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

If someone finds one of my items that I have labeled with a QR code from Homebox and scans it It would be awesome if they could land on a page that gave them information on returning the item to me.

What is the solution you are proposing?

If a user goes directly to an item page without being signed in they would land on simple page with a "Did you find this item? Please contact me" with a mailto link to the items owner's email.

What alternatives have you considered?

Migrating Discord discussion here:

My thoughts would be: If no email server is configured then provide the email and optionally a phone number If email server is configured have a quick send button with a simple field like "How do I contact you?" Allow users in the app to mark an item as lost and add a reward field which would be shown on the lost item page

Comments from @katosdev I think a simple "Found item?" button with a mailto link might be ideal for now, with a view to expanding functionality down the line ? MVP and all that ?

Thanks for the suggestion @philcunliffe - Love the idea! Adding to roadmap 👍🏻

Current thinking:

If user is not logged in: Redirect to “found_item” page, offer ability to login to edit item.

if user is logged in, continue to item page as normal.

I’ll start some work on this later today, if all goes well.

Didn't manage to pick this up sorry, but I'll aim to review it ASAP
