It is common for people to have a bucket list, a list of goals they want to achieve before they die. Unfortunately, other than each individual’s personal drive, there is very little that truly encourages them to complete their goals. With the BucketList website, we aim to solve this issue by implementing three main features with the overall goal of encouraging users to check items off their bucket lists more frequently. First, BucketList provides an easy way to track, manage, and organize a user’s list, enabling users to rank their goals and even set completion dates. Second, the social aspect of BucketList allows friends to encourage each other by giving them an opportunity to connect, view similar goals, and complete those goals together. Finally, BucketList offers various limited-time deals and offers pertaining to users’ lists that can be claimed for just a fraction of a goal’s retail price. With BucketList, lifetime aspirations are closer than ever before.
