Hi all, I built Flock as a way to learn web development over the past few weeks. I've always struggled to figure out what I should gift my friends, and at the same time, there's also way too many things that I like as I browse through social media/the internet on any given day.

I attempted to solve these problems in one go by building Flock, where you can create wishlists from any items on the internet (i.e. you don't have to create a separate wishlist for Amazon, Best Buy items, etc.) for any (or no) occasion. Once you create a wishlist, you can then share it with family and friends, and they can contribute towards your wishlist GoFundMe style!

Here's my wishlist: https://myflock.app/@mohnish

This is the first time I've actually built and shipped something from scratch by myself. I'd love feedback on the design/technicality, and even take feature requests if you have any!

I built this using Node and React, and it is hosted on Firebase for now.
