A Ukrainian IT enthusiast, registered on the social network Threads under the nickname revutastohnu, created a gimmie wishlist board for the iPhone, which allows you to anonymously order gifts from friends or family.
“Paste a link from any store. The item will become a sticker on your board, and friends will quietly reserve a gift,” the application’s website states .
According to the developer, the idea for creating the application came about when he was making a wish list for his own birthday.
“I opened the apps where I made them before, and everything there is boring and square, the price is not attractive, the pictures are one after another, and as a result, everything is done manually: you download the photo, insert it, write the price, and you don’t feel like sharing at all. I decided, as I’m used to, to code my own,” revutastohnu told Threads.
Among the application features that were added to it by the developer:
Through this board, friends can reserve a gift without the birthday person finding out about it: a friend opens your board via the link and reserves the gift, and also immediately sees where to send it — for example, to the Nova Poshta branch from your profile. Other guests see that this gift has already been reserved and cannot buy the same thing. If you log in via Telegram, the gimmie bot will write “Someone has reserved…”, but will not say who exactly.
“The best thing about it, which I personally like, is “Share”: you see a thing in any store or application, click Share → select gimmie, and it becomes a sticker on the board, I use it myself,” the IT expert advertised one of the features.
According to him, the gimmie application is currently open in beta testing mode for 1,000 people.
As dev.ua reported, Valve has released an update for the Steam platform that significantly simplifies purchasing gifts for friends. The main innovation is the ability to gift games to users in regions with higher prices.
