The IndieWeb Gift Calendar 2021 was the 5th annual group effort to gift (ship) one or more IndieWeb-related thing(s) each day of December 2021 that others can use to improve their IndieWeb experience.

See the current IndieWeb Gift Calendar

This can be anything from major wiki documentation contributions / improvements to shipping updates on any of the IndieWeb applications (like social readers), services, CMSs, plugins, community libraries, or any other projects in use by multiple folks.

Considerations

Gifts can be anything from major wiki documentation contributions / improvements to shipping updates on any of the IndieWeb applications (like social readers), services, CMSs, plugins, community libraries, or any other projects in use by multiple folks.

Please keep in mind the following considerations when adding something to a day:

It must be shipping / usable, not just a blog post announcing / saying you plan to do it.
Is it clear what your thing does?
Is it clear how someone is supposed to use it or otherwise benefit from it?
What use-case does it solve for others (besides yourself)? Ask yourself, how would/could someone else in the community use the thing I'm posting?
If it's a markup / styling example, is it clear what its purpose is, and how someone could/should copy the markup/styling and customize it for their own site?
If it's a programming example, is it clear how an indieweb site could use the code, using what language(s)? Does it require any frameworks?
If it's a code example or project, is it clearly open sourced, with a clear link to its GitHub or other code repo that has at least a README explaining how it can be used for either direct user benefit or to enhance existing indieweb sites?
