Where we are
Rivori is live and free, and most of what follows is the part that already works. The rest is what we’re building — without dates, because the biggest item on it depends on somebody else’s review queue rather than on us.
Working today
Every one of these is finished and in the product now — not in beta, not behind a flag, not on a waiting list.
Rivori reads the page and fills in the photo, the title, the price and the description. Amazon, Nike, IKEA, Steam, Barnes & Noble, every Shopify store, and thousands more. If a shop refuses to be read, you get the title from the address and can fill in the rest yourself.
Give a board a photograph — one of yours, one of ours, or a collage of the things on it — then frame it, name it in the serif, and drag the wishes into the order you actually want them.
Send a board to anyone. They don't need an account, an app or a password — they open it, see what you want, and go and buy it from the shop you chose.
Whoever buys something taps once to claim it, and everyone else sees it's taken. No name is attached, and you can hide the whole thing from your own side so the surprise survives.
Invite people to add to a board, not just read it — a shared registry, a flat's kitchen list, a trip everyone is buying for. Every wish says who added it.
Set a budget, a date and the house rules, then draw names. Nobody draws themselves, nobody draws the person who drew them, and you can rule out pairs before the draw. Only you can see who you got.
A wishlist is a thing people sit on for months, so Rivori re-checks what's on your boards and tells you when something you want actually gets cheaper — not when a shop leaves a stale strikethrough up.
List a board and it appears on Discover. Follow the people whose taste you like and their boards come to you. Everything else stays exactly as private as you left it.
An inbox in the app and an email when it's worth one — somebody saved your wish, a gift got claimed, a price dropped. Four switches, and one click to stop any of them.
Rivori is a real app for iPhone and iPad — free, and everything above works in it. Boards, sharing, claiming, gift exchanges and price drops are the same product on either, signed into the same account.
What's next
In roughly the order we expect to get to them. No dates — a public date that slips is worse than no date at all, and the first one here waits on a store review rather than on code.
The iPhone app is out. The same codebase builds for Android and the app runs there today — what's left is the Play Store release itself, which is paperwork and somebody else's review queue rather than code. No date, for that reason. Until then Android works in the browser and installs to your home screen.
A price drop is worth a buzz, and email isn't the right shape for it. The delivery layer already decides per person what each event earns, so push is another channel rather than a rewrite.
Today a board travels as a link. Following someone is one direction and grants nothing. A real friend list would let you ask a person for their list instead of waiting to be sent one.
"Tell me when this is under £40." We already re-check prices and know what a real drop looks like; the missing piece is a number you choose rather than one we decide is significant.
Every check we make is an observation. Showing them as a line would answer "is this actually a good price" instead of "is this cheaper than yesterday".
Not on the list
A roadmap that only ever grows tells you nothing. These are real decisions, and they're the ones that shape the product most.
Never. An advert on a wishlist is somebody else’s product standing next to the ones you chose, which is the one thing this page must not contain.
Boards, sharing and gift exchanges stay free. A paid tier may arrive for extras that genuinely cost money to run — faster price checks, price history — and what exists today is not going behind it.
We earn a commission on some outbound links and it never decides anything — not the order of your board, not which shop a wish points at. The full disclosure.
Claiming a gift stores a timestamp and no name, and we’d have to break that to build most of the analytics a product like this is expected to have.
Start a board and see. It takes about ten seconds and costs nothing.
