## Key takeaways

- A universal wishlist combines links from multiple websites in one list.
- Stored product details are editable snapshots rather than live retailer feeds.
- A shared list is public-by-link and does not provide checkout or gift claiming.

## QuickWishlist context

QuickWishlist is a web application that stores public product links from multiple websites in one wishlist. It attempts to extract a name, displayed price, and image when an item is added, but the results depend on the source page. Owners can edit names, displayed prices, notes, and destination URLs.

Shared wishlists are public-by-link. QuickWishlist does not provide checkout, payment processing, gift claiming, purchase reservation, or duplicate-purchase prevention. Buyers should confirm current price, availability, shipping, and product details on the linked source page.
