That's the one! Any feedback and suggestions are appreciated!

Usually landing pages for early stage products tend to be iffy but you've killed it honestly! I got what your product was in 10 secs.

What would be awesome is a link to a demo wishlist!

Agree with this, your landing page is _so good_ I'm going to use the format to replace my own garbage landing page. Thank you for the inspiration, this is awesome. You're starting a movement!

By the way, congrats on 171 users :)

Wow, thank you! Good luck with your own project too!
Thank you for those awesome words!

A demo wishlist is a great idea, perhaps with the ability to switch between how the creator sees the list and how others do?

Really appreciate the suggestion, will be adding this!

Just a friendly heads up (love the idea!)... clicking "Why Facebook?" works on Chrome, but not Safari (I'm on Safari 11, macOS 10.13.1).
Thank you for letting me know! I'll have a look at this as soon as I get my hands on a mac!
On the landing page below "share it", "check of" should be "check off".
It's been like that for a whole year without anyone noticing - or at least without anyone telling us. Thank you for doing so!

Fixed in next build :)

I'm liking how it looks, but, at least on mobile, I'm not able to find a list of features. I don't know if my behaviour is typical but on most sites that means I move on to find a similar site that does include a feature list.

For example, it was recently sinterklaas (Dutch holiday with a tradition of randomizing who gets who gifts) so someone in the family set up a list on https://www.lootjestrekken.nl/. That way everyone got an email, as soon as you clicked 'OK' on that email you're able to make a wishlist, ask questions to the group, ask anonymous questions to the person you're meant to buy for, etc.

I guess what I'm asking is, without having to watch some videos (it's quicker to hit next result on Google) how can I know how your product works? I see right away it's vaguely what I'm looking for, but as you can tell I've got specific demands, and I don't think I'm the only one. So how can I know it's exactly what I'm looking for?

Looks interesting but I don't have a Facebook account :/
The dependency on Facebook is kind of unfortunate, as it excludes those who either don't have a Facebook account, or for various reasons do not want to use it to sign up for services. I am myself in the latter category, but went with it as I wanted a single login, and saw it as the best alternative at the time - got some more about that in the 'why Facebook?' section on the site.

Would really like to provide a solution that could work without login, but I'm kinda clueless on how to solve this in a good way, that allows for the creator not knowing what has been checked off or not, as well as allowing others to both check and later - perhaps even on another device - uncheck items :/
