PuppySignal - An open source Pet's QR Tag

Hello everyone, this is a project I've been working on from a few years for my own-use with my pets, and this year I decided to share it with the community.

Project website: PuppySignal.com

What my project does

The functionality is pretty simple: when you log in, you create a profile for your pet, and a QR code will be generated and linked to its profile. When someone scans this code and decides to share its location, you will receive a notification on your phone with your pet's location, and the person who scanned it will see your contact information.

It consists of a few projects built with React (web and documentation), React Native (mobile), and Python for the backend (FastAPI and SQLAlchemy).

Target audience

Pet owners, but anyone could create codes and attach them to items, or whatever they want.

Comparison

Many QR pet tag alternatives already exist. The difference between them and PuppySignal is that you don't have to buy a QR tag and wait for it to be delivered. You can just clone it, self-host it, print the QR code, and attach it to your pet's collar.
