How Roopa works

For the purposes of the SheBuilds buildathon, everything you save stays in this browser, on this device. There is no account and nothing is sent to a server. Clearing your browser storage or site data will remove it, so treat it like a notebook that lives here.

When you add an item, it sits in "Considering" for the reflection time you choose in Settings (48 hours by default). When the time is up, the item appears under "Ready to decide" on the Overview, where you can plan to buy it, keep thinking, or let it go.

"Planned" means you've decided the item is worth it and intend to buy it. "Purchased" means it's actually yours. Both count toward a wishlist's budget, so your budget reflects committed and spent money separately.

You can decide to let go of an item and not purchasing it if, after reflection, you realize you don't need it. The item leaves your active lists, and its price is counted in "Saved by letting go" on the Overview; a record of the spending you chose not to do.

Once a wishlist has items, its currency is locked so prices are never silently relabelled or converted. You can choose the currency freely while the wishlist is still empty, and set your default for new wishlists in Settings.

It's your personal ceiling; the price at which the item would feel like a "hell yes". If the current price is above it, that may be an indicator to wait or reconsider. It's optional and never shared anywhere.

Roopa tries to read the page's title, image, shop and price. Some shops block this kind of reading, so it doesn't always succeed but you can always fill in or correct the details manually. Data is not verified against the live shop afterwards, so treat extracted details as a starting point.

Open Compare, pick a wishlist, and tick 2 or 3 items. Roopa shows them side by side with your notes, pros and cons, and lets you mark a "Preferred choice". Marking a preference doesn't change an item's status; it's just meant to mark your leaning, saved for later.
