Fun fact-did you know you currently can’t gift bundles? And sometimes when you try to gift your friend something, you’ll get an error message that doesn’t really tell you what’s wrong? These are just some of the things we’re hoping to tackle soon™. We plan to go back in and add cool animations and sounds ::insert Whoosh, Whirl, Sparkle sounds here:: as well as make some changes to the feature to make it more robust in the future. When we came back to gifting, we started to notice some other issues with the feature that we wanted to address. Rather than have the team wait to put polish on gifting once functionality was complete, they moved on to getting other features in the client-like “Your Shop.” Animations take time to load and can be problemsome for slower machines. To make it faster to test the functionality, we removed a lot of the animations at first. Initially we were focusing on making sure everything was actually working-like when you give a gift to your friend, they actually got it. This is something that got cut early in 2017 when we updated the client.
