What we shipped.

Public by default · Swag & promo · Shops grid · In-app browser · Real-features bundle.

The biggest single release of the season. Three meaningful shifts plus a stack of working browser features that no longer wait on a backend.

• New default · public wishlists — every new wish, every new list starts public. The whole point of a wishlist is that people can find it. Toggle individual wishes (or the global default in Settings → Privacy) to shared or private any time. Existing wishes are unchanged.
• New · Swag & promo · by Inkgility — branded merchandise inside Gish Business. Apparel, drinkware (Miir, Klean Kanteen, Yeti), bags, stationery (Field Notes, Moleskine, Blackwing), tech, curated new-hire welcome kits, customer thank-yous, and event signage. Open per-item pricing with quantity tiers at 12 / 24 / 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 / 1000+. Sample kit $99, refunded on the first 50+ unit order. Business tier gets −10% on every line plus free design service above 50 units. Sustainability ledger (materials, factory, kg CO₂e, end-of-life) on every item. Chapter IX → For businesses
• New · The Gish Guarantee — every contribution to an outcome fund or cause campaign is escrow-protected. If the verified payee doesn't receive the funds, you're refunded. Up to $1,000 per contributor per event, 14-day claim window, 5-day review SLA. Read the guarantee →
• New · Recipient choice gifts — gifters send a curated set of 3–5 options; the recipient picks one. Solves the "what if they don't like it" anxiety, especially powerful for corporate and remote-team gifts.
• New · Pledge donations — pledge-now-charge-when-goal-hits. Lets contributors signal commitment to outcome funds without locking funds. Captures automatically the moment the crowdfund hits 100%.
• New · Auctions — a 6th wish-type for cause-campaign fundraising. Min-bid increment enforcement, end-time enforcement, beneficiary linkage to verified payees.
• New · Welcome Box opt-in — physical starter kit shipped on registry creation, fulfilled by Gish Forward (Atlanta hub). Optional, free on Plus+, $19 standalone.
• New · Wedding multi-event RSVP suite — Sites · by Inkgility now supports multiple sub-events per wedding (rehearsal · ceremony · reception · brunch) each with their own RSVP, capacity, dress code, meal selection, dietary, plus-one, and song requests. Co-host access, daily host email digest, auto-reminders to non-responders, multi-channel delivery (email · SMS · WhatsApp · link), hotel room blocks, streamable guest photo gallery, digital guestbook, and group playlist contribution.
• New · Address Collector magic-link — share one URL with your guest list; each guest fills in their own address. Solves the wedding-invite address-collection nightmare without spreadsheets.
• New · Trending Now feed — live-activity snapshot of recent wishes created, gifts reserved, and contributions made. Discovery layer for the Explore feed.
• New · Gift reservations — friends mark "I'll get this" on any wish. The recipient never sees the badge (avoids spoiling the surprise), but other gifters see "● 2 claimed · 1 left" so nobody buys duplicates. Per-user release ("Release my claim") supported.
• New · Secret Santa — wizard with budget caps, exclusion pairs (won't draw each other), and a host-only pair-list reveal. Persisted per group. Supports any group size 3+.
• New · Price-drop alerts — watch any wish; when the price falls, you get a real browser Notification with the percent-off. Adds a price-drop entry to your inbox.
• New · SEO & PWA meta — every public marketing page now ships canonical URL, full Open Graph, Twitter Card, apple-touch-icon, theme-color, and manifest link. robots.txt blocks the investor deck and aggressive scrapers (GPTBot, AhrefsBot, SemrushBot, etc.).
• Improved · GloboFlow → GlobaFlow — naming-symmetry fix across the Loconomy stack so the Experience-Layer→Execution-Layer rhyme holds (Localise→LocoFlow / Globalise→GlobaFlow). 944 substitutions across 175 files.
• New · Shops surface — a curated grid of 75 retailers across 16 categories with one-tap open into the in-app browser, plus a "Custom" tab for your own bookmarks and a search that accepts URLs or store-name lookup. See the Affiliate disclosure for material-connection details.
• New · In-app browser — every Gish app now has its own browser. Open any retailer, blog, or product page right inside Gish; one tap on "+ Capture this page" lands it in your wishlist with title, URL, and metadata pre-filled. No more tab-switching, no more lost items. The web dashboard uses an iframe (with graceful fallback to capture-by-URL when sites set X-Frame-Options); the iOS / Mac apps use WKWebView, Android uses Custom Tabs, and Windows uses WebView2 — none of which are subject to iframe embedding restrictions.
• New · Real features bundle — green ⚡ floating button on the dashboard exposes browser-native capabilities that work today: real photo upload with IndexedDB persistence, real .ics / .json / .csv / .vcf import parsers, pure-JS QR code generation, Web Speech voice capture, Web Share, real Notification API, push registration scaffold, geolocation with reverse-geocode, clipboard import, AR product preview via <model-viewer>, and PWA install prompt capture.
• Improved · Service worker now handles real push + notificationclick events plus a Web Share Target receiver at POST /share-target. Manifest registers web+gish:// protocol handler. "Share to Gish" appears in the OS share sheet once installed.
• Improved · Browser extensions (Chrome / Firefox / Safari) now post visibility: 'public' by default. Chrome extension also captures a real screenshot of the page as fallback when no og:image is present.
• Improved · Eleven chapters in pricing (was ten) — dedicated tier breakdown for Swag & promo (À la carte / Business bundle / Enterprise).
• Fixed · 486 broken \\' escape patterns across dashboard.html (365) and admin.html (121) that would have terminated JS strings prematurely at runtime in the Sites view, AI features hub, multi-storefront, USPS 1583 flow, capture flow, and checkout options.
• Fixed · Home-page capture phone now shows the actual AirPods Pro 2 product photo instead of the generic over-ear-headphones placeholder.
• Fixed · Inkgility credit copy on home page — "Order direct from your site" → "Order directly from their site".

Outcome receipts now include QR verification.

Every outcome-fund receipt PDF now embeds a QR code linking to the public outcome page. Scanning verifies the wire confirmation number against our public ledger. Useful for contributors who want third-party proof for tax filing or insurance reimbursement.

• Receipt template · QR generated at PDF render time · 200×200 SVG · cached for 30 days
• API · new field verification_qr_url on receipt resources
• Mobile · iOS app's Wallet pkpass receipts include QR for direct iPhone scanning

Group-buy notifications, tightened.

• Improved · "goal almost hit" notifications now fire at 80%, 90%, and 95% (was just 90%) — driving 14% more last-mile contributions
• Improved · contributor avatars in goal-met emails now show 8 faces instead of 4
• Fixed · group-buy refunds now show the original contribution date instead of the refund-issued date — was confusing several users during tax season
• Fixed · iOS share sheet was duplicating wishes when shared from Safari twice in quick succession

Per-item privacy: password protection.

You can now password-protect individual wishes — useful for the in-laws-can-see-the-safe-stuff use case. Friends-only and timed-reveal modes are in beta. More on registry privacy →

• New · password-protected wishes (passwords stored hashed; resets via email)
• New · timed reveals — wishes hidden until a specific date
• Security · 2FA now required for outcome-fund payee changes

50 themes, grouped by mood.

The theme picker now groups by mood (Daylight, Sunset, Twilight, Night, Dawn) with Editor's Picks featured at the top. The full 50-theme catalog stays the same; the picker UX is just easier.

• New · 6 mood categories + Editor's Picks
• New · live preview as you hover
• Improved · contrast-checking warning when a chosen theme falls below WCAG AA on certain text

Browser extension v1.4.

Faster capture from Amazon, Williams Sonoma, IKEA, Etsy. New retailer integrations: Mejuri, Cuyana, The Sill, Brooklinen. Reduced false positives on landing pages — capture only fires on actual product pages now.

• New · 8 new retailer integrations
• Improved · ~70% faster on Amazon (better DOM parsing)
• API · public capture endpoint POST /v2/wishes/capture with retailer URL

Receipt timezone bug.

Outcome receipts were displaying wire-cleared timestamps in UTC for some users instead of their local timezone. All historical receipts have been re-rendered with the correct local time. Contributors: no action needed.

Patron tiers, live.

Recurring monthly support is now generally available. $5–$500/mo brackets, cancel anytime, monthly receipts mailed to both parties. Most popular use case so far: $20/mo to family-member creators (musicians, podcasters, ceramicists). Top brackets: $50/mo for a niece's high-school robotics team, $100/mo for a sister's pottery studio rent.

Public profile redesign.

The public profile pages got their biggest visual update since launch. Personal welcome messages, stories per wish, dramatic crowdfund visualizations with stacked contributor avatars, "Trust receipts" merging received outcome funds + gifts given, and a tabbed "Alex's people" section combining contributors and followers. Backed by data from 14,890 weddings and 38,720 active wishlists.
