5 years ago Just transcribing some conversation from Slack here as well, to keep the flow going.
I've made another repository as well that currently hosts the code.
From @Anish-Agnihotri "On another note, saw that @rshea had dropped an idea about physical kudo cards for the upcoming holiday season. Took a quick stab at the front-end in the last few minutes. Check it out here: https://gitcoinambassadors.github.io/KudoKards/. I'll probably finish up auto-populating the cards and the a PDF file for them with an API (if there is one, which I think there is), or some quick web scraping tomorrow using Vue or something of the sorts.
I'm not spectacular with design though, so if anyone wants to drop-in and help with that or other general stuff like copy, it'd be much appreciated :slightly_smiling_face:!"
From @usmanmuhd "Looks cool! I think we should be able to print the kudo only if you own it. There could be a QR code as well that would help us verify the validity of the physical kudo."
From @Anish-Agnihotri "For sure. I don’t personally know much about how validity QR codes would be generated, but making sure you own the kudos would be super simple, since we would just ask to use MetaMask and pull up a web3.eth.coinbase and pull the ERC721 tokens on the account that way."
"On another hand, it might be worth exploring the fact that you can print out any kudo card, since otherwise it would defeat the purpose if you could only gift the kudos you owned yourself to someone else."
"Thoughts @ryan-shea shea? I’ll also be moving these convo transcripts to Github as well so that there is a chain of records."
From @usmanmuhd "I guess validity QR code would just be a link to the gitcoin page which would verify if a particular person owns the kudos or not."
"As you have mentioned we could also have something like sending a kudos to the proxy address and handing out a card as a gift. That way a person can go login to gitcoin and receive the kudos. Seems like a great marketing strategy as well."
From @Anish-Agnihotri "Yes! That sounds like a great idea. I know that there is a way to airdrop Kudos (since I got the Twitter kudo that way). It might be possible to make a way that generates a single kudo airdrop link. In this way, you don't need to set a proxy address either."

User Story
As a community member, I want to send real life kudos to say thanks during the holiday season.
Why Is this Needed
A handwritten note trumps all for communicating thanks. While in the Open Source Community, it isn't always possible, I want to be able to buy stationery so I can write thank yous to individuals in my office / in my family / in my friend group.
Summary: Create a simple side project that takes .svg files from the Kudos service and generates a printable .pdf for individuals to make cards out of
Purchase a set of cards for $ETH / other crypto
Description
Type: Feature
Let's spin up a side project like our previous ones and let our community send thanks intimately this holiday season.
Definition of Done
A marketable, onepage .pdf generator is created that utilizes Kudos
