I originally built this during the pandemic to keep my family’s Secret Santa tradition alive while everyone was stuck at home. It spread fast in my country, and I’ve been improving it ever since. Now, opening it up to everyone in the World! Excited to hear what you think.
Oh and.. Please let me know what your grandmother think about this app, because mine loved it!
It's important that these kinda apps are available on both Android and App Store. If one person in the group does not have an iPhone this app becomes unusable. Hence, it's very thoughtful of the maker to have it on both stores.
Impressive launch, HoHoHo Secret Santa team. From a clarity & onboarding lens: when someone opens the app for the first time, what’s the one belief you want them to hold in the first 10–15 seconds? Is it: • “I can instantly organize a fun gift exchange without stress.” Or: • “This tool already understands our group and makes the event feel magical.” Because in group/gaming tools the biggest adoption barrier isn’t features; it’s the user believing this will actually spark the fun. Curious how you’re designing that moment.
Last time we did it over a video call and ended up drawing ourselves three times. That would have solved our problem. Cool!
@ardator, this is such a thoughtful build. You solved a real annual headache by stripping away the friction and turning Secret Santa into something families and teams can actually enjoy without messy spreadsheets or WhatsApp chaos. The “tips about the people” feature is a smart UX touch that quietly solves the biggest issue in group gifting.
From a product perspective, I love how lightweight the stack is. OneSignal for engagement, Firebase for speed, and Mixpanel to understand micro-behaviors speaks volumes about how intentionally this app has been shaped. The fact that you originally built it to keep your own family tradition alive gives the whole product a heart that most seasonal apps miss.
I work in content and growth for consumer apps, and this has all the signals of a tool that can travel fast socially during December. The simplicity is the strength. Curious to see how you plan to scale engagement beyond the holiday spike. Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Best of luck with the launch. This one feels wholesome in a very real way.
