Original Summary
Things To Have is a wishlist app. I started working on it in 2022 as a pet project for my friends, then turned it into a serious app in 2024.<p>I built it because I disliked other such apps – they were either too ephemeral, limited to a specific use case, or felt like a TV shop.<p>I wanted to build an app that would be calm and would cater to thoughtful buyers, collectors, and enthusiasts. I also didn't forget about birthdays, so reservations and other birthday QoL are present.<p>As it always was a hobby/passion project, I wasn't bothered by "time to market" and overengineered a lot of things. For example, it ships transparency-aware blurhash for each image, has many unadvertised Drag'n'Drop interactions like MacOS has, 1001 ways to upload files into a form, etc.<p>It is also powered by a quirky stack: it is running on Cloudflare Workers and D1, and the code is written using Hono (<a href="https://hono.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://hono.dev/</a>) and Vue, tied together by a custom Inertia (<a href="https://github.com/brachkow/hono-inertia" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/brachkow/hono-inertia</a>) adapter. I also use better-result (<a href="https://better-result.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://better-result.dev/</a>) to bring sane errors to JavaScript. All this results in a scalable, cheap, and extremely easy way to write full-stack apps, which feels like old-fashioned MVC.<p>I believe my app stands out from both established apps and beige vibecoded competitors and is worth your try. And if not, I hope you find the listed tech fun at least...
