With Bradmas approaching, I realized the family wishlist might once more become useful to me. The last time I really used it was Christmas. There have been a few times since to check wishlists for birthdays, but on no occasion was I hoping to receive anything.

Up until now it has been a little confusing. Once a gift is received, at best you could remove it from your list.

But throwing away useless data offends me. What if one day, through some variation of computational alchemy, that data becomes useful — even necessary? On that day we will be so screwed.

Aware of this, I’d always intended to add a received state to gifts. I finally got around to doing so tonight.

Now you can mark a gift as received and it will disappear just like it was deleted.

Want to see a list of all your received lists? Good news! You can’t.

At least not yet. I’ll probably get around to adding that eventually. We’ll see.

I would also like to implement a given state allowing givers to remove a gift from their reservation list and prompt the recipient (on their next visit) to mark it as received or not, as appropriate.

The problem is I’m so lazy. Wait, actually the other one sounds better. I’m “busy“. Busy with real life.

Our best bet is if enough people request those features, or if they one day become useful to me.
