The last thing everyone in the office needs is to know everyone else's birthday.

Many offices actually do some kind of birthday related recognition. In any case, Cardybot doesn't even tell you your co-workers birthday. It just tells you that the birthday is coming up soon so you can sign the card.

Hey there! This looks fantastic, just wanted to let you know someone's now hunted this on Product Hunt, you may want to mark yourself as the maker there!

I count not having to sign cards as one of the perks of working remote. Please don't take this from me.

Writing "Happy Birthday, !" takes literally a few seconds and absolutely 0 effort, but means a lot to the recipient. You should consider your coworker's more empathetically

If I got an automated birthday card via Slack I would be extremely depressed.

Hello there, Cardybot is not just an automated card sender. It collects personal birthday wishes/sentiments from your co-workers and organizes them in a card.
