The user posts an item they are curious about. Location data and the #curious hashtag is appended to the post, and other recently posted nearby media is returned based on relevance to that post.<br> | |||

Example<br> | |||
<br> | |||
<br> | |||
In addition to posting a curiousity, users can simply search the map for media based on a given radius from a location, the time span in which the media was posted, and keyword(s).<br> | |||

Curious works in the browser, but the application is most powerful as a mobile application.<br> | |||

In the early stages of #hacktoberfest, similarities between Cole's Finden project and Trina's Curious project emerged and the two were combined. Tatagatha and Cody stepped in to fill technical and design gaps. | In the early stages of #hacktoberfest, similarities between Cole's Finden project and Trina's Curious project emerged and the two were combined.
