A kudos and recognition web part for SharePoint

You want people to thank each other on the intranet. A simple form to send kudos, and a wall that shows the recent ones. Here is a web part that does both.

It reads and writes a SharePoint list. The list needs a Title column, a note column KudosMsg for the message, and two Person columns ToPerson and FromPerson. The Provision-IntranetLists.ps1 script creates the Kudos list for you.

The form uses a people picker to choose who you are thanking, and the recognition wall reads the person columns to show names and photos. In the property pane you set the layout, whether to show avatars or initials, and how many kudos to show on the wall.

Kudos is part of my open source SPFx Intranet Suite, a set of web parts for a modern SharePoint intranet. Install the package once and it shows up in the toolbox under Intranet Suite.
