Farha is a free wishlist app for families. Create wishlists from any store, share via link (no signup needed), and coordinate gifts with secret reservations and group gifting.
@ayyoub bouazza makes sense, treating it as an atomic transaction rather than a client-side check is the right call there, that's exactly the kind of bug that only shows up under real concurrent usage and not in testing. good call keeping reservation status hidden from the wishlist owner too, that's easy to overlook until someone points out it ruins the surprise.
the secret reservation feature is the right instinct for these apps, group gift coordination falls apart fast without it. curious if there's an iOS app planned too, or if the shareable web link is meant to make that unnecessary
the secret reservations bit is the actual hard part of these apps to get right, my family's tried a couple wishlist tools before and they always leak who reserved what if two people open the list at the same time. how are you handling that race condition on the backend?
This is a very practical idea for families. Wishlists are easy to make, but coordinating gifts across parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends can get messy fast.
I like that Farha works with any store and can be shared by link without requiring everyone to sign up. That makes it much easier for extended family members to actually use it.
Quick question: how do secret reservations work in practice? Can gift givers see what has already been reserved while keeping the surprise hidden from the person receiving the gift?
Most people only think about wishlists a few times a year, so retention will be a bit difficult. However, I like the group gifting feature.
Love that sharing a wishlist doesn't require the recipient to sign up for anything. That friction-free link sharing is such a thoughtful UX choice, especially for older relatives who just want to see what someone wants.
A friend mentioned this the other day and I gave it a try, the secret reservation thing is such a smart touch. One thing that would take it further for our family is a built-in budget tracker per wishlist, so anyone contributing to group gifts can see how close we are to the goal without pinging the organizer. Would save a lot of back and forth in our group chat.
the secret reservation feature is honestly so smart, finally no more awkward double gifts at birthdays. set up a quick list for my sister's birthday and sharing it without her needing to sign up is super smooth.
Finally tried this with my sister's birthday coming up. Adding stuff from random stores without having to make accounts was honestly the best part, and my brother saw the same Bose headphones and chipped in without telling her. Pretty handy.
Really clean experience adding items from random stores and sharing the link with my sister worked without her needing to sign up. The group gifting idea is surprisingly practical for my parents' birthdays.
A small thing that would make sharing smoother is letting us set an expiration date on a wishlist link. Family events come and go, and it would be nice to have links auto-close after the birthday or holiday is over so old lists stay private without me having to remember to delete them.
Adding an in-app birthday or event reminder that pings family members a week before the date would be super helpful. Right now I still rely on Google Calendar to remember my niece's birthday, and it's easy to miss. If Farha could nudge everyone in the shared group automatically, it would become the one place my family actually checks for gift planning.
A nice simple gift-coordination app. One feature that would really help during birthdays and holidays would be letting us schedule a "reveal date" for secret reservations so they automatically unlock the moment a celebration arrives, no manual nudge needed.
the secret reservation feature is such a smart touch, finally a way to avoid the awkward "i got the same gift" moment at family birthdays.
Love that the share link works without forcing recipients to sign up, such a respectful touch for family members who just want to peek at a list. The secret reservation feature is clever too.
Love that shared links need no signup. Makes it so easy to drop a wishlist in the family group chat without making everyone create accounts just to peek.
Congrats on the launch. One thing I'd love to see is a browser extension that lets me add items to a wishlist directly from any shopping site with one click, instead of pasting links manually every time. Would make building lists for birthdays and holidays way faster for busy parents like me.
The secret reservation idea is clever for avoiding duplicates. One thing I'd love to see is a built-in birthday or occasion reminder that nudges family members a week before so we actually check the wishlists and buy on time. Would make the whole coordination flow feel less last-minute.
The no-signup sharing is a lifesaver for sending my mom a quick birthday list without making her create an account. Love that the secret reservation feature prevents my sister from buying the same thing twice again.
The secret reservation feature sounds really clever for avoiding duplicate gifts. One thing I'd love to see is a price tracking option so the wishlist owner gets notified when something goes on sale, and contributors can see the price history before chipping in for group gifts.
