This is a german language implementation of secret santa. The design goal is minimal hassle for the participants, which is achieved by using e-mails for communication. The features are:

• No signup/app needed for participants
• No mailserver required, mailjet is used for sending (account required by manager)
• Configurable message text

Sadly, due to cross-origin policy issues, the browser is prohibited from sending POST requests to Mailjet directly, so a python server is necessary to act as a proxy.

1. Install python requirements (e.g. with pip install requests).
2. Start python server with python wichteln.py.
3. Open displayed web-page (likely at localhost:8000/)
4. Fill in participants as shown
5. Touch up template if required
6. Fill in Mailjet account data
7. Fill in sender name ("Absender", the e-mail must be approved for sending via Mailjet)
8. Press "Versenden!"

• python 3.6+
• requests library for python
• mailjet account for sending emails
