Early prototype review
What real people noticed first.
Five people tried an early Puzl prototype and told us what worked—and what they still wanted clarified.
“This beats Venmo. I posted my reveal share card straight to my story.”Zoe16 · Charlotte
“The flip animation and image handling are solid. I’d integrate this if there were an API.”Marcus19 · CS student · Raleigh
“I’m not a tech person. I set it up in five minutes, texted 12 family members, and eight pieces were gifted by morning.”Denise48 · nurse and aunt · Durham
“I understood it immediately. I just wanted clarity on where the money goes and when.”James52 · engineer and dad · Cary

Gift activity
The newest gifts appear here as pieces flip.
What photo should I use?
Choose a personal photo that shows the recipient and the dream behind the gift. That photo becomes the puzzle.
What happens when I gift?
Your gift adds a piece. When the Puzl is complete, the recipient opens the reveal when ready. The video or link can be shared afterward.
How is the money safe?
In the live app, Stripe Connect should process payments under a lawyer-reviewed charge and payout design. This prototype simulates the flow; responsibility for disputes, refunds, negative balances, and delayed transfers depends on the final Connect configuration.
What are the fees?
Pay as you go is $0 upfront with a 5% Puzl platform fee. Celebration is $29 upfront with a 0% Puzl platform fee. Stripe processing is separate on both plans and must be confirmed against the live Stripe account before launch.
Is the backend built?
This file is still a frontend prototype. It is ready to connect to the backend stack, but launch needs live Supabase records, Stripe Connect checkout and payouts, image storage, and text/email delivery tested end to end.
Can seniors use it?
The app is designed with large buttons, plain language, visible progress, and a simple checkout. Add a piece, pay, and get a receipt.
Why can it go viral?
Every gift gives people a reason to share: their name appears, the picture fills in, the countdown creates urgency, and the final reveal is easy to post.
What if a campaign looks fake?
Production pages need a visible Report Campaign button, Stripe identity checks, and a fraud clause that allows suspicious campaigns to be paused while reviewed.
Is this tax advice?
No. Puzl should tell recipients and gifters to consult their own tax advisor. The app can explain general gift/payment flow, but cannot give personal tax advice.
1. File NC LLC$125 at sosnc.gov before first real payment.
2. Get EINFree at irs.gov for bank and Stripe setup.
3. Business bankKeep Puzl money separate from personal money.

Occasion
Details
Stripe processing is estimated separately. The $29 plan charge is prototype-only until checkout is connected.
More pieces usually means smaller, easier contributions.
We only use this to alert you when pieces are gifted and when the puzl is ready to reveal.

Selected: Laptop
Not the exact one?
Use a screenshot of the real item. The more specific the wish, the more personal the Puzl feels.
The part people remember
Tell them why this matters.
Explain what the gift will make possible. Will it help them learn, compete, travel, create, or take an important next step? A specific reason helps people understand why their contribution matters.
Choose the feeling that fits, then make the words yours.
This becomes the heart of the text, email, and social message people share.
