WordPress plugin to display a list of posts published "on this day" in years past, in a widget. A good little bit of nostalgia for your blog.
If you're familiar with services like Google Photos, TimeHop, or even Facebook Memories, you most likely enjoyed getting little reminders of what happened in your life in years past. This little widget brings this feature to your WordPRess site.
This plugin is also what you could call "a feat of over-engineering". :) As you'll see if you browse this GitHub repository, you'll find that this simple widget uses dependencies that would not typically be needed for a simple widget. That's mostly because this plugin is als a playground for me, it allows me to play with tools I want to experiment with. So... It works well, but don't be surprised that there is so much under the hood for a simple widget. :)
You can get that plugin on your WordPress site by going to Plugins > Add New and searching for "Posts On This Day". You can also find the plugin in the WordPress.org plugin directory.
To install it from this GitHub repo, clone the repo in your plugin's directory (usually wp-content/plugins), and build it with composer install.
I'll be super happy to see any PRs and suggestions for improvements! Check the contributing guide here to send in your first contribution.
