I created a little gift exchange webapp this morning with the help of Claude. We used it to generate our yearly family "secret santa" assignments this morning, but you are free to use it to. It's stateless with all data stored as base64 URL parameters. www.mikebrevoort.com/mini-apps/gi...

Earlier this year Dion and I had a particular conversation over lunch where we both seemed to mildly discontent. I'm glad to see us both onto something, reunited with old friends and teammates.
