A little bit about gift giving.

Notes

So, I’ve been playing with our new Gifts block (coming in the next version of The Dossier), and it’s got me all excited. When I show it to people, they immediately understand the purpose of The Dossier, moreso than any description ever could. This is the thing that made The Dossier exist, the thing that I wish we’d had in the app since day 1, because it defines us.

The Dossier is, at its core, about giving. Clothing sizes? So you can buy clothes for someone accurately. Twitter? To get ideas for gifts. Notes? To store your ideas for presents, likes and dislikes and whatnot. Photos? To capture moments that remind you of the person, of things they like, of things you want to give them.

Gifts in The Dossier is the first step to bringing that to the forefront and showcase it. Being able, at a glance, to see everything you’ve ever purchased for someone, as well as the things you’re going to give them next (and even whether or not you’ve already bought it!) is super cool.

We all give gifts, and organizing them (especially if you’ve got an extended family or large group of friends) can be a huge pain. I’m hoping the next update of The Dossier will really show you that it can be easy.

Over the next couple of days, I’ll be revealing a few details about how Gifts will work.
