Show HN: A free, fun and customisable Christmas card site with no account needed

4 points| polarbears | 2 years ago |xmas-cards.co.uk

Hi everybody, I made a free Christmas cards site for you to use. I run it every year and I recently added a few new features and I think you might like it.

Some features of the website:

- You can make cards quickly and easily. Unlike other websites, you don't need to set up an account, it's free, you don't need to send a suspicious-looking link and there are no advertisements on the cards.

- You can design your own cards, either by drawing them manually or by using stickers to create a picture.

- There is a cards list which should help you keep track of your cards and make sure you haven't forgotten anyone.

- There are online advent calendars you can open every day until Christmas - but sorry, it doesn't give you chocolate :(

(there might be a few bugs I've missed but it should mostly be OK)

Let me know what you think! Any suggestions, feedback or comments are greatly appreciated!

That is wonderful! I love the easy to use and friendly looking UI.

If I were to add a feature I would like a PDF so I can print it more easily, and have the layout with half the page filled, so I can fold.

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!

That's a good idea about printing it out - I'll look into it!

Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!

There is actually a small watermark in the corner of some cards (just to spread the word a little bit), but it's so small and transparent that you can't really notice it unless you zoom in and look really closely.

But it can be removed by copying `localStorage["please-dont-remove-the-watermark"]=true;` into the browser console, or by using a design you made yourself.
