Ask HN: Feedback on Startup Idea

4 points by sritch ↗ HN
I like to keep a "To Buy" list on my phone under notes of things I might need or like. Stuff like shoes, a new couch etc.

Another way I keep track of things I see in a store/magazine that I like is to take a picture of it.

My idea is essentially a "wishlist" app.

1) You see something you like in a store, take a picture of it. 2) add a title/description and save it.

You can keep track of the things you want, maybe the price/location you saw it, etc.

However, you can see what your friends want and either - add to your own wishlist, ask them question's about it or even make recommendations.

The point of it is to track your own items, not create a "idea list" for friends and family who are shopping for you.

Thoughts? Criticism?

This is a good idea, but it seems like most of these features are already included in springpad
