Knee jerk reaction: Great work. I had a similar idea floating around in my mind and it's cool to see something like it come to fruition.
Incoherent Rambling: How about expanding to more than one item wishlists that span multiple site APIs and market it as a simple, efficient, online wedding registry replacement?
You can rank your items in terms of preference, people can contribute money, then the app just buys and ships the items from the top down until the list is complete.
As a wedding gift purchaser I wouldn't have to make a trip to some random store and go through the hassle of getting the registry, nor would I have to navigate to a site I may never use again (I'm looking at you Williams Sonoma) and setup an account to purchase one item.
As a bride or groom it would be nice to just supply someone with one short URL when they asked "where are you registered?" without having to go through all the hassle of setting up a ridiculous "we're getting married" wedding profile on Yet Another We're Getting Married Social Network.
Like I said, incoherent rambling. Could result in an interesting tool, though.

- peterbe 13y agoThank you!
- hootener 13y agoyeah, sorry if I gave the impression that "OMG this site NEEDS THESE FEATURES RIGHT NOW!!!" That wasn't my intent. It's legitimately a great idea and a seemingly well executed MVP (I haven't dug deeply into it yet). Hence my suggestions being prefaced with "Incoherent Rambling" It's hard not to see a good initial execution on an interesting idea and think aloud "I wonder where this could go next..." In either case, OP, keep up the good work.
- peterbe 13y agoYou can actually have multiple items (). I wanted it to focus on just 1 time to start with. That will hopefully mean less noise. () Once you've picked one item, you can go back and pick another item. Then you have 2 unique URLs but they aren't really connected.
