Ask HN: Review my startup - GiftBait.com

5 pointsby bakhlawaalmost 14 years ago
http://www.giftbait.com<p>I have built GiftBait to help party planners / hosts get gift suggestions from their friends.<p>This is akin to a traditional gift registry but instead of the host specifying what they WANT, friends specify what they want to GIVE. The host just has to vote yes/no on each gift and the friend knows what to get.<p>Likely use cases: wedding, bridal/baby shower, house warming, birthday, etc.<p>This is my first product and feedback would help me refine the offering.<p>Thanks, bakhlawa

I would like a button on the front page that says "Tour" that explains what happens.<p>I tried using it, but I didn't want to create an account. I want to see what it does and how it works. Maybe an example of it or a video demo.<p>Also I recommend not putting pricing or fees until you've gotten a lot of people who love using the service. Unless you're dying for a few bucks to keep you sustainable.<p>Otherwise seems like a good idea. I'd like to try it some more to give you better feedback.

Personally, I wouldn't want to use this. The whole idea of my friends submitting gift ideas to me feels like I'm asking for a little much. It feels unfair. I'd rather my friends get me whatever they feel is right without my say, this way it's a real gift.
