GiftLink

A shareable gift wishlist. Add products from Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and anywhere else, then send one link so friends can buy what you actually want — and claim a gift so nobody doubles up.

Amazon and Flipkart do not allow apps to sign in with your shopping password. GiftLink never asks for those. Instead, connect a shared wishlist link (Amazon: Wish List → Share → Anyone with the link) or paste product URLs. The list goes live when you add a gift.

Run locally

npm install
npm run dev

Open the URL Vite prints. Sharing and “I’ll get this” work on your machine via a local store in .data/.

Deploy on Netlify

1. Push this folder to GitHub (or drag the repo, not only dist, into Netlify).
2. Build command: npm run build
3. Publish directory: dist
4. netlify.toml is already set. Functions store published lists so friends on other phones can open /w/your-id.

After deploy:

1. Open your Netlify URL
2. Open How to use if you need the walkthrough
3. Create a wishlist and add a gift. It goes live on its own.
4. Tap Share on WhatsApp. Friends open /s/....

Save the private edit link shown in the editor. It opens the list on any device. Don’t send that link to friends.

Occasion pages (/diwali-gift-list and the other lists linked from the home page) are prerendered so the HTML is not an empty shell. Diwali 2026 is 8 November.

Amazon Associates

Amazon.in buy links that friends see include an Associates tag. The default tag is giftlink0e-21, so this works with no Netlify setting. Set AMAZON_ASSOCIATE_TAG to use a different tag. A blank or invalid value falls back to giftlink0e-21. Other shops are left alone. The tag is added when a list is read, and it is not written into the saved wishlist.

In a function this is read with Netlify.env.get("AMAZON_ASSOCIATE_TAG"). Shared lists and the site footer include: “As an Amazon Associate, GiftLink earns from qualifying purchases.”
