Hi, guys!..:)

Great idea, for the web page @https://saythanks.io/

It's nice, except there's an unexpected element, the corner ribbon isn't done with some nice JavaScript, or something; this is the page code, currently:

<a href="https://github.com/kennethreitz/saythanks.io"><img style="position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; border: 0;" src="https://camo.githubusercontent.com/38ef81f8aca64bb9a64448d0d70f1308ef5341ab/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f6769746875622f726962626f6e732f666f726b6d655f72696768745f6461726b626c75655f3132313632312e706e67" alt="Fork me on GitHub" data-canonical-src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/github/ribbons/forkme_right_darkblue_121621.png"></a>

... Which seems to be very lazy (to say the least, hehe); and, more importantly, it (kinda?) raises the question: what else is done is such a fashion? :-o

It's not that big of a deal (these days!), code has been around forever; a couple of -possible- queries @

https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query=javascript+web+page+corner+ribbon
https://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+web+page+corner+ribbon

Right?.. Not trying to spam, just sayin'

Thanks!! :))

I'm jealous of this pink badge. For convenience, it'd be nice to have a small widget on the inbox page to make it easier to customize the shields.io badge.

Is this something you would like to have? If so, I wish to help with implementation.

I found a minor bug while you export CSV

Step to reproduce

1. Create a new account which don't have any thanks message without default one
2. Scroll down you will see Export your inbox! CSV .
3. Click on CSV for download

Tada! 🥳 You will get error message Internal Server Error

Hopefully it will fix soon.Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

The list icon and content are splitted into different lines since there is a p tag exists in li tag.

In this case, I think the p tags are useless:

Please add a logout link to the inbox

Hey thanks for the amazing project.

Just a small warning, I got a thank note today and the mail I received ended up in the spam.

Besides email and github, I think gitlab auth is a great option to provide.

I'd like to have the ability for the sender of a message to optionally add her e-mail address to potentially get in contact afterwards.

The account was created with an email address, not a GitHub name.

Beyond saying thank you, it is often useful to have users send in quotes or testimonials about their experience using a package. Maybe have a user option that says this is a thank you or a user quote. For quotes, allow for a longer message.

To be more accessible to users who do not speak english it would be cool to have translated versions of the pages (and the button).

Is there a chance of a PR providing a german translation to be accepted?

I was signing back up for saythanks after it had been down, but the authentication access that it asks for seems a bit extreme imo:

I would imagine all it really needs is the personal info, not all the admin access stuff.

It would be better if Manage your Inbox: section is move to a different page.

A settings icon will be placed at the right end of row Welcome, Email row which would take the users to the above mentioned page.

This would make the index page look clean.

The project has been using OAuth Version 1.0.

By moving to OAuth Version 2.0, we can get additional information including userid or nickname or displayname and use that instead of email address in the redirection links to the inbox.

Similar to https://github.com/kgashok/memcode/blob/master/Readme.md#initial-setup-for-development

I have changed the primary email address of my Github account. After logging in to saythanks.io the following error was displayed.

sqlalchemy.exc.IntegrityError: (psycopg2.IntegrityError) duplicate key value violates unique constraint "inboxes_pk" DETAIL: Key (auth_id)=(github|xxxxxxx) already exists. [SQL: 'INSERT into inboxes (slug, auth_id) VALUES (%(slug)s, %(auth_id)s)'] [parameters: {'slug': '[email protected]', 'auth_id': 'github|xxxxxxxx'}]

You may not want to publicly report this type of error. How can the account be deleted so that a new registration is possible?

First of all, thanks for this project! I got a feature request. It would be great if you could distinguish between multiple projects in SayThanks. If you have multiple projects with the badge included, this would help to know which specific project a user has thanked for. Could be realized with a simple URL query parameter.

Is the website down? Or has the service been taken down?

A little thumbnail, a signature or maybe a . gif or e-card?
Or is it okay if it stays on just like an inline link?
I'm only proposing diversity, for it's the most attractive attribute😄

This will encourage first timers to contribute.

Hi,

thanks for this nice initiative.

Would be great to have code to copy/paste for an easy integration into our READMEs, or at least an easy tutorial to explain that we can use Shields.io (http://shields.io/ part "Your badge") to do this :

(https://img.shields.io/badge/say-thanks-ff69b4.svg)

We only have this right now in the private part

It seems like some design could go a long way for this project. Like, style the input to look like you're writing a thank you card. The Creative Mornings crowd would eat it up!

Thanks for creating this awesome project!

Could you please add the ability to create a saythanks url for an organization when I sign up with GitHub?

Changing usernames would be a nice feature to have. In my case, I'm consolidating all my online accounts into one names, so I'd love to rename that one too. 🙂

Developers usually add the SayThanks badge to their Websites and Github projects. Not all messages specify what they are thankful for. If the badges can be created with attribution topics say on the lines of

saythanks.io/to/<user>/<topic>

where the topic can be set to project name or website address or whatever, attributing the thanks to a pertinent endpoint becomes easy.

Dear @kennethreitz,

I know that this is probably out of scope but maybe we can propose this to the Github folks?

The default font now is HuiFont, a free Japanese handwriting font.

The user must be able to choose a different font for note creation as well as viewing the inbox.
A "Settings" page might present some choices for the user to choose from.

Hello!

I get this error while logging in with GitHub to access my inbox.

The url is https://saythanks.io/callback?code=xxxxx

Maybe it'd be cool to register the saythanks.to domain instead of using links like https://saythanks.io/to/kennethreitz. Links that looked like https://saythanks.to/kennethreitz would look cleaner in my opinion.

Just a thought ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hi, how about some instructions for adding a nice-looking badge on the project's README. Many projects already use badges for CI-build status, version-info and the like, and I guess adding a saythanks badge would increase the chance of users doing click on it.

[![saythanks](https://img.shields.io/badge/say-thanks-ff69b4.svg)](https://saythanks.io/to/kennethreitz)

Hello,

I have an organization (@wallabag) and I want to add a saythanks button. Is that possible?

While messages are stored in the saythanks.io, it is not being forwarded to the actual email address of the user.

Users should be able to delete their account from the interface.

It looks like this project currently uses cloudflare and doesn't automatically redirect to https; automatic and self-contained HTTPS is a recent feature of all GitHub repos now, but requires a maintainer to configure, and for DNS to be pointed in the correct location.

https://blog.github.com/2018-05-01-github-pages-custom-domains-https/

The reason I want to use saythanks is to avoid direct emails and avoid giving away my personal email. But the email is included in the url itself! What would be the difference if I am giving https://saythanks.io/to/[email protected] instead of [email protected]?

<br> tags are escaped in the text/html section. Mails look like this:

Dear n1try <br>Thank you <br>can u provide me source code of youtube video. <br>my email is ???. <br>Thanks again

--John Doe

According source code looks like this:

<html><body>
<p>Dear n1try &lt;br&gt;Thank you &lt;br&gt;can u provide me source code of=
 youtube video. &lt;br&gt;my email is ???. &lt;br&=

<p>This note of thanks was brought to you by SayThanks.io.</p>

Additionally, the text/plain version shouldn't contain HTML tags at all, but it does.

Thank you for your honorable work and convenient login through github OA, but I found the title for my page was "Send a Thank You note to 1MLightyears!"

............

Well that's gonna be somewhat embarrasing, for I used to introduce myself to my customers as Lightyears (instead of 1MLightyears). This mistake took place when I signed up github and found "Lightyears" has been occupied, so a compromise was made.

This time, at least at saythanks.io, I wish my username be shown as I want (a correct avatar with a not-so-correct username is quite embarrasing).

So I really need the feature of customize username! Thank you in advance!

My browser reports an invalid certificate while authenticating via Github.

Please consider adding (an option to add) translations. I could translate the texts to German and I know a little bit French.

A feature to allow all the messages to be displayed on a public page would be awesome. We would be able to use it as a public hall of fame.

Hi again,

could be nice to open our inbox for public thanks on a project ? We are not always alone on a project and I think thanks is for every contributors.

Also, could be nice to split thanks by projects in one account, I don't want to create an account for each projects.

And we could have a counter in the badge too, could be a motivation for people to use the thanks button ;)

Hello sir, I'm a graphic designer and I would love to contribute to your project with a logo. This is completely free, take it as a contribution. In case you agree I would be presenting sketches and you will be choosing/modifying the aspects you like more so we could work on the perfect logo for your project together.

Let me know what do you think? best regards :)

Hi,

Thanks for this nice initiative!
With a couple of friends, I am working on a side project and I would like to integrate saythanks to its README. The issue, is that the messages will only be sent to one of the collaborators, so I was wondering if it would be possible to add support for multiple emails or github accounts linked to one single thanks button, without having to create an organization?

I guess that in those situations, it wouldn't be "Send a Thank You note to kennethreitz!" but something like "Send a Thank You note to 's contributors!". Maybe the webpage could also print out the names of the contributors.
