# GiftList

> GiftList is a free universal wishlist and gift registry platform.

## Markdown for agents

Every blog article and gift guide is also served as plain markdown:
append `.md` to its URL. Example:
https://giftlist.com/blog/how-to-set-a-gift-budget-for-any-occasion.md
The markdown twin is the same content as the HTML page, without navigation
or layout markup, and includes the full product list for gift guides.
The FAQ is available the same way: https://giftlist.com/faq.md

The card and invitation design galleries are served as markdown too, and
so is every one of their category pages — same rule, append `.md`:
- https://giftlist.com/cards/designs.md and https://giftlist.com/cards/designs/<category>.md
- https://giftlist.com/events/designs.md and https://giftlist.com/events/designs/<category>.md
Those twins name every design in the category, its art style and the words
lettered on it — the gallery pages themselves are image grids.
The category lists are in the two gallery twins.

No other page has a `.md` twin.
