Farewell boards
A leaving card the whole team can sign
Someone's last day is coming and a paper card is doing the rounds — except half the team is remote, and it's sitting in a drawer. Start an Applaudy board instead, drop the link in your team chat, and everyone signs it from wherever they are.
How it works
- 1
Start the board
Say who it's for and pick the occasion. It takes about twenty seconds, and you don't need an account.
- 2
Share one link
Drop it in your team chat or an email. Anyone who opens it can add a message, a photo or a GIF — no sign-ups, no app.

Send it as a card
When everyone has signed, email it over. It opens as a card, with the messages landing one at a time — and they can save the lot as a PDF.
Say what they actually did — a specific project, a habit, a rescue. "Thanks for everything" is warm but forgettable.
A photo from a team day out is worth three paragraphs.
Post the link on a Friday and send the board the following Thursday — people need a nudge and a deadline.
