It's a multi-party gift registry where families and friend groups each get their own wish list, but can see and claim items from everyone else's lists. The key feature: when you claim something, the recipient can't see who claimed it or that it was bought—preserving the surprise.
Perfect for holidays, birthdays, or any group gift-giving situation. No more duplicate gifts, no more "I already bought that," and no more awkward spreadsheets.
Features: - Easy login/invite with passwordless auth (magic links) - Paste any URL and it auto-fetches the product title - Race-condition protection so two people can't claim the same item - Mobile-friendly for shopping on the go
Built with Next.js 16, Prisma, PostgreSQL, and Supabase. Open source and self-hostable.
With the holidays around the corner, we're using it ourselves and figured others might find it useful. Would love feedback from the HN community!
