#2We've spent around 2 weeks or so developing this and we'd love any feedback you may have...thanks in advance.

#3Nice idea and execution but I didn't find anything interesting... I don't need to make a list if I want to buy someone iPad or Kindle fire... but that's my taste, maybe other people find new ideas from there.

#4You might want to make the GiftMark more prominent, like a popup as part of the initial welcome. I just focused on the main area and thought it was only possible to add what was displayed on the page. The only reason I went clicking was to help evaluate the app, and I tink under normal circumstances I never would have clicked a menu item for "Add gifts from around the web"
Cool idea all around. Good luck!

Hi thanks for the feedback. The big feature of this site, which may not of been obvious, is the 'giftmark' bookmarklet - this means that you can add any items you want when you browse the web rather than just being limited to our default items. If you drag that bookmarklet up to the toolbar and then when you see an item on the web you like, you click the 'giftmark' button and it adds that item to your list (with a picture).

Yeh we completely agree - looking at stats and how many people are installing 'giftmark' we knew we had a problem. We'll look to address it - thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated. Would you make the giftmark part of the site as part of the sign up?

#7The idea's great, but I think the look of the site could do with a rework. It feels a little dark and cramped.

#8I use the add-on Ghostery, which filters out page elements that are known as trackers, including the ShareThis buttons. So I couldn't see any buttons below the statement "Share this list using the buttons below."
One solution to this problem is to offer at least one share button that is provided solely by your site.

I completely missed it so I guess you should do a better job introducing it to your users as a main feature, also create browsers plugins - bookmarklet might work for HN user, but not for 99% others, it also gives you a little more publicity.
Also I did find something interesting from Gadgets section but the width of the "pinterest style" boxes are so narrow, the pictures small and no price tags - it's hard to get my attention at least.

Ok cool - we'll make it much more prominent. With regard to the second bit of feedback - we'll be adding price soon and will continue to iterate so the pictures are sharper and better quality, and bigger, but we wanted to get it out there before xmas and get people's feedback. We'll add it to the list. Thanks
