Making thoughtful gifting easier to remember
Hint is a people-first place to remember the details that make a gift personal, before a birthday or occasion turns into a last-minute search.
What I’m exploring
Useful details about the people we care about are usually scattered across messages, notes, shopping tabs, and memory. Hint explores whether those details can live in one lightweight profile organized around a person.
The goal is to make thoughtful gifting feel prepared rather than transactional.
Decision so far
I’m making people, not products, the primary navigation. Each profile can hold practical details such as sizes and preferences alongside specific gift ideas and looser guidance about what would work.
The home view brings pinned people, upcoming occasions, and recent activity together so the app stays useful between shopping moments.
What I’m watching next
- How much profile information feels useful before it becomes work to maintain.
- Whether reminders should center on occasions, people, or saved ideas.
- How shared updates can stay helpful without making personal details feel exposed.
