Features
Everything Wishcode does, in one place. Some things you will see. Some things work quietly in the background. I added each one for a reason.
For people with a wish
- No account needed.
- A sign-up form is where most ideas give up. Just finish the sentence “I wish there was an app that…”, post it and it goes live.
- Same idea? You will see it first.
- If ten people post the same wish, the votes get split ten ways. So before you post, I show you wishes that mean the same thing, even if the words are different. You can add your me-too there instead.
- Your words are saved.
- Ideas are easy to lose. If you leave in the middle, your words are still there when you come back.
- A little party when you post.
- You get confetti, and an easy way to share your wish while it is new. More me-toos bring more developers.
- An email when someone builds it.
- You should not have to keep checking. Leave your email only if you want to hear back. You can stop the emails with one click.
- You decide if it works.
- A link does not prove the app does what you asked. When a developer posts one, you say Yes or No.
- A card to share when your wish comes true.
- It is a good story, so I made it easy to tell.
For developers
- Sign in with GitHub.
- You already have it, and it shows your real name and face, so people trust your link. Your profile shows what you are building and what you finished.
- No one can lock a wish.
- If one person could claim a wish and then go quiet, the wish would be stuck. So many developers can claim the same wish, claims never run out, and you can post a link without claiming at all.
- An email when your app is confirmed.
- You find out the moment real people say it works.
- A card that shows how many people wanted it.
- “I built what 214 people wished for” says more than “I made an app”. It is something to be proud of.
- A place on the Builders page.
- People can find the developers who ship.
For everyone
- Me-too.
- This number is how developers find the apps people want most. When you tap it, the button squishes, the number rolls up and a +1 floats away, so you know it counted.
- Fulfilled ✓ means people checked it.
- At first, any link could mark a wish as done, even a fake one. Now the people who wanted the app decide. The person who made the wish gets the first say. If they do not vote, 3 people who tapped me-too can decide. If people say a link does not work, it gets hidden behind a warning.
- Filters.
- Developers can find wishes no one has built yet. Visitors can see the wishes that came true. You can also sort by newest or most wanted.
- This week’s numbers in plain words.
- “12 more wishes than last week” is easier to read than a chart.
- Live visitor count.
- The eye icon at the top shows how many people are on the site with you right now.
- Share anything.
- Every wish, every new app and every wish that came true has its own link and picture, so each share tells the right story. You can also download the picture.
- A night sky to start.
- People make wishes on shooting stars. So the first page shows a star flying in, and the sky slowly turns from night to morning and back to evening as you scroll.
- Friendly empty pages.
- Even a page with nothing on it has a small drawing and a button to help you move on. It should still feel like a person made it.
- Report a wish or a link.
- Anyone can post, so anyone can tell me when something is wrong. I read every report myself.
Privacy and safety
- I do not keep your IP address.
- I need to stop spam, but I do not need to know who you are. Your IP address is turned into a scrambled code, and that code is thrown away within a day.
- No sign-up, but still fair.
- Your phone or computer gets a random code, and I only keep a scrambled copy of it. That is how I make sure each person gets one me-too without making an account.
- Email links are safe to open.
- Some email apps open every link to check it. So opening a link does nothing. You have to press the button on the page.
- Bot checks you will not notice.
- Bots get stopped, and real people do not have to solve puzzles.
- Fair daily limits.
- No single person or bot can flood the site or fake how many people want something.
- Outside links open in a new tab.
- I do not check links before they go up. So every link shows who posted it, and it never opens inside Wishcode.
- Visitor counts with no cookies.
- I want to know how many people visit, not who they are.
Open to all
- Free and open source.
- Anyone can read the code and check that Wishcode does what this page says. You can even run your own copy.
- Easy for AI assistants to read.
- Many people now ask AI to find things for them. Wishcode has a simple page made for AI, so wishes can show up there too.
