Overview of My Submission
I built PaperDrop . An app that allows you to drop anonymous messages based on your location.
I got the idea about the app when I was trying to build my other side project - which lists all the crime events near to you on a map. Also, I've been planning to learn Redis for a long time. This hackathon seemed like a perfect opportunity to do it.

Drop anonymous messages wherever you go!
PaperDrop
An app that allows you to drop anonymous messages based on your location.
Instructions:
Make sure your location services are turned on when using the app.
Users can read messages dropped by other users, given they are within the range of the message(50m).
Users can see messages up to 2km radius on the map.
A drop expires when 10 people have read it.
At any given point a user can only have 10 active drops. To create new drops they either delete existing drops or wait for them to expire.
Happy hunting! :)

How it works
Since the main focus of the app are message drops(or just drops), I'll mainly focus on that.
How the data is stored:
A drop document in MongoDB looks like this:
{
_id : ObjectId ,
user : ObjectId , …
