Great Job Noah and Dick!

This is brilliant and looks well executed. It is definitely well positioned to replace the wish list, review list, registry etc.

How do you avoid the distraction that comes with solving a problem that can pull you in too many directions? This can easily become a Pinterest, Affiliate shops, Price monitoring, coupon code sharing etc.

What are your plans to stay focused while listening to your users?

I signed up and sent you guys an email too!

PS: You may want to make referral links vs text (we pay per text message in many countries). A link will let up put it on our WhatsApp status etc.

Thank you so much. The way we've been solving the problem so far is listening to what users want and making changes they ask for (if those changes are in the direction we want it going). I think there is no easy way to do this - it's just talking to tons of users and having a clear internal vision of where we are going with it. We see a big opportunity and have a vision of what it looks like so we're just trying to optimize for that and balance feedback.
