Happy New Year! We are starting 2025 with a major milestone for Wishplace. The foundations we built last month are now fully operational. This means the app has officially transitioned from a prototype to a real, functioning platform ready for data and users.

Real payments and the credit system

The credit system is the heart of our inverse marketplace economy. I am excited to share that it is now complete from end to end. We are no longer using mock flows or simulated balances.

  • In-App Purchases: Fully integrated for both iOS and Android.
  • Store Integration: Payments are handled directly and securely via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
  • Tracking: Credits are now correctly granted, tracked, and consumed within the app.

Data persistence: Moving beyond prototypes

Wishplace now handles real data. Every wish you create and every property an owner adds is now fully persisted in our database. This is a huge step forward for the real estate technology we are building.

Managing data is no longer a simulation. When a user adds an address or a property, the system enforces credit usage and saves the information permanently. There is now full consistency between the mobile app, the backend API, and our production database.

Professional legal and settings integration

All core configuration flows are now wired up. This includes the settings for desired places and owned properties. Whether you are a buyer looking for a home or an owner listing a shop, the app is fully aligned with the backend.

In parallel with the technical work, I have started legal consultations. We are professionally reviewing our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. It is important that Wishplace is not just a great app, but a trusted and compliant platform for the public launch.

What remains before the February launch

We are incredibly close to the finish line. Only three major building blocks remain to be built before we open the doors. We are currently focusing on the matching algorithm, which is the "magic" that connects buyers and owners.

We are also working on push notifications and the internal chat system. Everything else needed for a real, high-quality product is already in place. We are on track for a target launch in February.

The app is now a real platform. From here on, it is all about unlocking the magic of the market. Wishplace is available on iOS and Android. Download the app.
