LostReturn - Because lost doesn't have to mean gone forever

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 We’ve all experienced that sinking feeling of losing something valuable—keys, a wallet, or a favorite item. The current offline lost-and-found systems are usually fragmented, slow, or rely entirely on luck. I wanted to see if a simple digital solution could fix that, so I started working on Lost Return (https://lost-return.com/). It’s a web platform designed to connect people who lost something with the people who found it, quickly and securely, without exposing personal details until both sides agree. 🚧 Where we are at right now: We are still in the very early stages of development, but we just hit a huge milestone: we successfully made our first real connection between a person who lost an item and the one who found it! Seeing the platform actually work in real life was an incredible feeling and really validated the core idea. However, building this means tackling the classic "two-sided marketplace" challenge—the platform is only useful if both losers and finders are actively using it. I’m sharing this here because I’d love to tap into the knowledge of this community: The "Chicken and Egg" problem: For those of you who have built community-driven apps or two-sided platforms, how did you bootstrap your initial user base? UX under stress: I'd love any brutal feedback on the UI and the submission flow. Does it feel intuitive and fast enough for someone who might be panicking because they just lost their bag? I would appreciate any feedback, advice, or shared experiences you have. Thanks for reading!
