Wishes: Universal Wishlist

Wishes is a modern, cross-platform mobile application designed to make gift-giving a social, stress-free, and magical experience.

1. Dynamic Home Dashboard
The central hub is engineered for a premium, distraction-free user experience.

Circular Contact Row: Tap any followed friend to view their shared wishlists instantly.

Clutter-Free UI: Search and scanner tools are moved to specific tabs to focus entirely on social connections.

Native Monetization: Non-intrusive "Wish Ads" blend seamlessly into user lists.

2. Find & Universal Search
Discover millions of products via real e-commerce APIs or AI curation.

AI Store Auto-Population: If a country lacks local stores, OpenAI (GPT-3.5) automatically researches and seeds the top 15 webshops in under 3 seconds.

Universal Search & AI Fallback: Query any product globally. If APIs fail, an AI generator constructs highly realistic product matches and personalized recommendations.

Crowdsourced Stores: Users can manually add unlisted stores, which instantly become globally available to everyone in their region.

Advanced Filters & Quick Add: Sort by price/budget/brand and add products to lists with a single tap.

3. Smart AI-Powered Wish Scraper
Automated URL Parsing: Paste any product link (Amazon, Nike, local shops) to instantly extract high-res images, titles, and exact prices in under 3 seconds.

Customization: Easily set priority levels (High, Medium, Low) and preferred currencies.

4. Premium List Management
Privacy Controls: Set lists to Private, Shared (via link/code), or Public.

Smart Reservations: Friends can anonymously "Reserve" items to avoid duplicate gifts. Reservations auto-expire (e.g., after 14 days) to prevent hoarding. Anti-griefing measures prevent anonymous trolling.

Crowdfunding (Chip In): Integrated Stripe Connect enables group funding with zero platform fees. Includes an anonymous chat and ledger for contributors to coordinate safely. Also supports localized manual payment logging via MobilePay, Vipps, and Swish.

Co-Admins: Owners can promote guests to help edit and manage the wishlist.

Calendar Sync: Export wishlist event dates directly to local device calendars.

5. Social Activity Feed & Localization
Activity Feed: Tracks watched price drops, joined wishlist updates, and crowdfunding milestones.

Dynamic Localization: Instant, real-time UI translation across multiple languages.

QR Code Sharing: Generate and scan custom vector QR codes to instantly join specific lists.

6. Self-Healing Sync Engine (Supabase)
Automatic Conflict Resolution: The app silently resolves database Row-Level Security (RLS) conflicts if users restore backups or switch accounts, regenerating secure IDs securely in the background.

7. Native Share Extension & OTA Updates
iOS Share Extension: Add wishes directly from your mobile browser (Safari/Chrome) using the native iOS share sheet without opening the app.

Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates: Powered by Expo, critical updates and bug fixes apply silently in the background without requiring App Store/Google Play downloads.

8. Automated Event Reminders
Privacy-First Push Notifications: The wishlist owner receives zero spoiler alerts (no reservation or chip-in notifications).

Hybrid Reminder Engine: Uses server-side cron jobs and client-side scheduling to reliably deliver localized countdowns and price-drop alerts without duplicates.

9. Web-Wide Price Investigation
PriceRunner-Style Search: Tap "Investigate" to scan thousands of stores across the web for a better price.

Automated Watching: The background engine tracks price fluctuations globally and auto-updates the purchase link if a cheaper deal emerges, triggering an immediate push notification.
