Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Build rock-solid core functionality: reliable saving, loading, and data persistence

Users love the concept but are abandoning due to crashes and data loss. A competitor that simply works reliably would capture frustrated users immediately

Implement accurate product variant capture (color/size/options)

Major differentiator—users need the exact item they selected to be saved, not a random variant. This is causing gift-giving failures

Create seamless browser integration with one-click saving

The core promise is eliminating copy-paste, but the extension doesn't work. Native share sheet integration for iOS/Android is critical

Add manual editing capabilities for images, prices, and notes

When automatic capture fails, users need fallback options. This feature alone caused users to switch to competitors

Build gift coordination features (reserve/claim items, group wishlists)

Clear use case for holiday/birthday shopping. Enables viral growth through wishlist sharing while solving real coordination problems
