π What if your Christmas gift list could actually solve the βWhat do you want?β problem?
Every December, the same conversation starts:
βSoβ¦ what do you want for Christmas?β
Then comes the chaos.
Screenshots in WhatsApp.
Random links in Notes.
βI'll send it later.β
And somehow someone still buys the exact thing you already bought. π
So I decided to build a web app around a simple idea:
Make Christmas lists easier to create, share, and keep organized.
I built ChristmasList as a concept for making the whole process more structured instead of keeping everything scattered across chats and screenshots.
The fun part of building products isn't always the complicated technology.
Sometimes it's taking a very familiar problem and asking:
βCan software make this ridiculously simpler?β
π That's what I was exploring with this one.
Now I'm curious:
What's one Christmas problem you would build an app to solve?
Finding the right gift π
Staying within budget π°
Organizing family gifts π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦
Avoiding duplicate gifts π
Something completely different π

ChristmasList β One Link For All Your Christmas Wishes
Add wishes from any store, in any country. Share one link on WhatsApp. No double gifts.
The duplicate gift is the real problem. If people can quietly mark "I'm getting this" without the list owner seeing it, that alone would sell it to my family. My pick would be budget, there's always one person who goes way over the limit everyone agreed on.
You have just giving me two features that could make my ChristmasList even more useful!
A hidden "I'm getting this" option is a brilliant idea. Nobody wants to spoil the surprise, and nobody wants three people buying the same gift.
And the budget issue? Every family seems to have...

3 Page landing btw. Somehow ended up with dark versions, light versions, a whole DS and like 6 card explorations.
Is this overexploring or is this just the job? Genuinely asking. π§
Man, this is wonderful and modern
Project Title:Β Surreal World πβ¨
Description:Β Hey everyone! Here is my submission for the Recraft Challenge β a poster series calledΒ "Surreal World"! π¨
For this project, I dove deep into the Public Domain Image Archive and gathered vintage 18th and 19th-century illustrations from various talented artists of that era β think old-school book engravings, scientific botanical plates, and classical etchings.

I wanted to give these historical artworks a fresh, weird, and fun twist by mixing them with modern surrealism, bold colors, and psychedelic vibes. With Recraft, I blended classic cross-hatching textures and aged paper looks with funky symbols, neon contrasts, and dreamlike patterns.

The cross-hatching and aged paper against those neon pops is a fun tension. Did you set one shared palette rule across all four posters, or let each illustration pick its own accent?
