Context
Build a wishlist app I actually wanted to use: easy public sharing without forcing guests to sign up, with anonymous item reservation so duplicate gifts stop happening.
What I did
- Prisma schema (7 models, UUIDs, cascade rules, unique constraint on Reservation.wishId)
- NextAuth credentials provider with argon2 hashing, email-verification and password-reset token flows
- All CRUD via Next.js Server Actions + next-safe-action + Zod validation
- Migrated backend from NestJS to Next.js Server Actions mid-project
- Resend transactional emails, Unsplash API integration with the required download-trigger event
Results
- Launched on Product Hunt: ~115 upvotes
- Production application used by family and friends
- Anonymous reservation flow that doesn't require visitors to create accounts
- Compliant Unsplash integration including the required download-trigger event
Key features
- Multiple wishlists with categories and drag-and-drop ordering
- Wishes with price (30 currencies), image, and product URL
- Public sharing via a unique code with optional spoiler mode for the owner
- Anonymous reservation by email, no guest account required
- Unsplash image search inside wish forms
- Email verification and password reset via Resend
