Of course. So a lot of things are in the works right now, but in a nutshell, I'm currently scraping data about (nearly) every taxi company in the U.S and feeding that data into an admin panel which lays out the data in a way conducive to finding items which have been reported as lost in a given geographical area..theres still a lot of work to be done on that front, but that's the core concept...as for scaling, yes I definitely think it has the potential to be globally scalable in the future, but for the moment I'm concentrating on the U.S as a proof of concept...if I can get it working here, though, I would definitely be interested in introducing it globally later.
