Idea 5 : Present Tracker and Wishlist

I’ve historically been bad about remembering what we got for all our nieces and nephews, brothers and sisters and parents. Do you know how awkward it is to give them same person the same or very similar a gift from one year to the next. This tool would allow you to create lists of people in your life and then keep track of what you got them year over year. It would make sense to also incorporate into this a wish list or idea list per person too even though those are a dime a dozen around the internet.

How to do it

  • Rails App (noticing a theme here)
  • Log in and permissioning system
  • Ability to create People
  • Ability to add gifts you’ve been in the past
    • Images
    • Text
    • Links
      • Use the parser from previous builds to ingest this data
      • Fallback to basic link if we can’t parse it
  • Ability to add ideas for gifts
    • Same options as past gifts
