## Redeem gifts using your camera

### The challenge: redeem gifts using your tablet or mobile

[GiftForYou](http://www.giftforyou.nl/) lets you send someone a gift like a day trip, dinner and other enjoyable outings. Gift vouchers can be redeemed at affiliated retailers. GiftForYou challenged us to develop an app in less than a 100 hours, which lets you redeem gifts on your tablet or mobile phone using your camera.

### The solution: web technology and open source frameworks

Successful redemption apps are already available, such as the [Groupon Merchant App](https://www.grouponworks.com/articles/groupon/working-with-groupon/customer-service-working-with-groupon/groupon-merchant-app-gets-makeover/). However, with our deadline in less than 2 weeks, it was too short notice for registration and approval of a *native app* for the App Store and Google Play Store. Our solution: one web application which works on any platform, by using the latest web technology and open source frameworks.

For a responsive, mobile first layout we use the popular [Twitter Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/)framework. We can quickly and easily create the look & feel of GiftForYou by adjusting the logo, color palette, typography and white space.

![Mobiele mockups van giftforyou](https://www.datocms-assets.com/6524/1539937603-gift-for-you.jpg)

GiftForYou puts a unique alphanumeric and bar code on each gift. We ensure you can easily input these codes on mobile devices, by using HTML5 form fields - which immediately display the appropriate keyboard. When you need to input lots of codes, typing them in becomes tedious. We therefore added support, using Mozilla’s [QuaggaJS](https://serratus.github.io/quaggaJS/), to enter codes by simply scanning the bar codes with your built-in camera.
