I was tired of all the existing alternatives so I built a better Secret Santa organiser. This one works with mobile numbers, so you don't have to bug your friends for their emails.
Once the participants receive their assigned Secret Santa they can message the app what they would like to receive and the person that will be gifting them receives that message anonymised.
I have been getting conflicting feedback regarding this SMS solution and the need for paying for the messages. What do you think? Does this improve the existing solutions or not?
The recompute of matches is a really nice idea. I had to do it myself with my group of friends and it was a bit painful. I understand the privacy issue of sharing the phone numbers, I will try to come up with other solutions.
