Elevator Pitch

Progressive Web Application allowing users to create and save different gift ideas for their friends in order to have a list to reference during special moments in those friends lives.

User Stories

  • User always sees or thinks of good gift ideas for their loved ones, but never remember them when it's actually their birthday or a holiday. They use GiftBasket to capture those ideas in the moment to reference later.

Wireframes

  • Landing Page - Create an account / Sign In

  • Create a Basket page - Takes in a name, birthdate, maybe an address and any primary gift ideas
  • View Basket page - See a specific basket and everything in it. Can remove ideas from here, and add gift ideas.
  • Edit Basket - Edit details about the person.

Proposed Architecture

  • Backend in Express, Sequelize, Postgres
  • I want to use GraphQL and Apollo for my query language
  • Use the Cloudinary API to save photos
  • Frontend in React, TypeScript, with making it a PWA using create-react-app as the base
  • Material UI since I'm making it a PWA

MVP

  • Queries and mutations for GraphQL set up with the backend - Completed
  • Auth using Bcrypt for create account and login - Completed
  • Able to create baskets and add/remove ideas - Completed

Stretch goal:

  • I'd love to create a feed page for sharing gift ideas that everyone can see. - Completed
  • I want to create and integrate a chrome extension to help make it easier to save things to your baskets without having to switch tabs and such.
