Pønskelisten

Pønskelisten is an open-source, self-hosted web application for creating, sharing and collaboratively managing wishlists. It focuses on group wishlists and anonymous gift claiming so recipients do not see which gifts were reserved by others.

Key Features

• Create and share wishlists and individual wishes with friends and family.
• Collaborative editing and group support for shared lists (multiple collaborators).
• Anonymous gift claiming: reservations show as taken to others while keeping the owner unaware.
• Flexible deployment options: Docker image provided and Docker Compose example in README; downloadable executable and build-from-source using Go.
• Supports PostgreSQL and MySQL backends; initial-run DB setup is handled by the application.

Use Cases

• Families or friend groups coordinating gifts for holidays, birthdays, or events to avoid duplicate presents.
• Small communities or clubs maintaining shared wishlists for fundraisers or group gifting.
• Individuals who prefer a self-hosted wishlist with control over data and deployment.

Limitations and Considerations

• Mobile/small-screen UI is noted as not yet fully optimized; users may encounter usability issues on small devices.
• Project is distributed as source and container images; active maintenance and updates depend on the repository maintainers and community contributions.

Pønskelisten is a lightweight, privacy-focused option for anyone who wants a self-hosted wishlist service with collaborative features and anonymous claiming. It is best suited for users comfortable running Docker or compiling a Go binary for their server or home setup.
