Make your own wish list
Connect with friends
Look at your friend's wish list
Plan on buying a gift for someone

What it does

It allows people to connect with their friends and share a list of items that they want. This allows people to get the best possible gift. You can also mark a friend's item so other people know that you're planning on getting a gift for someone. This is to avoid getting the same gift for someone by accident.

How I built it

Working with Firebase, I created a network which allows users to interact and see each others wish list that they create. Since Firebase requires async actions, I had to work a lot with closures and Swift's DispatchGroup/DispatchQueue. I used some Cocoa pods for efficiency and to work on more of the functionality of the app.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm pretty happy about how I structured the database for the users, wish lists, and other features. It made it easier to upload and pull data from Firebase. Though I'm not a designer, I'm also relatively happy about the simple UI of the app, even though it's not amazing.
