The Story Behind Danke
How it started
Danke started when someone needed to collect thank-you messages for a colleague who was leaving. The usual methods made it hard to gather everything in one place and present it beautifully.
So we built Danke: a place where people can easily contribute messages, photos, and videos, then see it all come together as a beautiful slideshow. The reaction from that first board showed us how meaningful it is when appreciation is shared thoughtfully.
Since then, people have used Danke for birthdays, farewells, graduations, weddings, and countless celebrations. Each board becomes a collection of kind words and memories that people can revisit and treasure.
Always Free
Danke is free to use, with no plans to change that. We believe everyone should be able to celebrate the people they care about, without barriers.
