Wishpile - The family gift tracker that gets it all out of your head

Hi Product Hunt In my family, I'm the one who remembers the gifts. Not by choice, exactly. It just landed on me. I'm the one holding the running list of what my daughter mentioned wanting in March, what we spent on my brother last year, whether anyone already bought the thing my mom hinted at twice at dinner. It lived across a notes app, a spreadsheet, and about four text threads, and every December it fell apart in the same way: something got double-bought, something got forgotten, and I spent an evening reconstructing what we'd already spent. So I built Wishpile to get it out of my head. It's one place for the whole thing. Lists with countdowns so nothing sneaks up on you. Per-person and household budgets that show what's left, not just what's spent. Gifts move from idea to bought to wrapped, so you can see the state of everything at a glance. The part I'm proudest of is the claiming. Family members share wishlists, and when someone claims a gift it vanishes from everyone else's view, so nobody double-buys, and the person receiving it never sees what's coming. You can co-plan with a partner and still keep surprises from each other. You can split a group gift and track who's chipped in. Secret Santa runs fair draws with exclusion rules, so couples don't draw each other. And you can paste a product link and it fills in the gift for you, which sounds small until you've done it forty times in a week. It's free. Genuinely - no card, no trial. It runs in a browser on iPhone and Android, so the grandparents don't have to install anything, which was a hard requirement in my family. One thing I'll be upfront about: I hadn't written code in about twenty years before this. I run engineering for a living now, which is a different job entirely. Wishpile is what happened when I sat down and actually built the thing I'd been complaining about every December. I'd really like to hear from the other people who got quietly assigned this job in their family. What's your current system and where does it break? I want to know what I'm still missing.
