Postcardbot

I gave this a spin and sent a few cards. It was great, very low friction and easy to use. In the age of ChatGPT showing how easy a chat interface CAN be this seem really on point.

The US is a big market. And is the most likely country that people will be able to send to. So it’s a great place to start. I use voip accounts and have been able to send to…

As a side note I must confess a certain degree of uneasiness reading some of the borderline-toxic comments, which - to be fair - are nothing new. This time around though it seems…

Absolutely. This project is super cool!! I'll likely use this to send a postcard to some friends. Such a cool little website to start and it feels so indie!

Nice idea, but the fact that it requires sending to a US-specific phone number makes it unusable for most of the world. For me, the ideal implementation of this would be a simple…

I'm in Europe with an iPhone and this didn't work, but I'd like to try it. [edit: telegram integration would be quite cool.]

Have you though about how malevolent people will abuse this? E.g. sending a pic from a shocksite to someone you don't like? You'd have to set up a content moderation department…

The biz case here is interesting: I had no idea what the postage rates are from the US, so checked and saw that they start at $1.45. Maybe you can get bulk rates from the USPS…

I think that's addressed in the FAQ: > Currently, we only have a US based phone number that can be used to interact with our service. We understand that this can be expensive in…

You should add a ‘tap to add to Contacts’ link - I think a vCard would work? I don’t want to send a postcard right now, but I’d definitely like to store the number for later use.…

I don’t have much time so excuse my brevity, but: I love the idea. It’s simple, it’s solves a user problem. You can explain it in 1-2 sentences. Setup = adding your number to the…

I think it’d be a neat value-add if there were some (optional) postcard templates. Stuff like “Greetings from scenic <location_name>” that could either be used seriously or…

This is awesome! May I recommend a package deal? For example, I want to send to a bunch of friends, maybe a different price point for larger orders (if feasible)? $10/4-5 for…

Is the resolution of MMS high enough to make a good postcard?

>STOP to unsubscribe Confused. Is this charged per shot or subscription?!?

Czech Post has an app that does. Local price is like a $1. It works worldwide regular international price.

Switzerland has it too, since a long time. https://www.post.ch/en/sending-letters/sending-letters/postcard-creator-app

https://www.fizzer.com does the same, and it's quite nice to use.

UK is private enterprise rather than Royal Mail https://www.photowire.uk/ One example I just found. £2 to address in UK and £3 international. A thought has crossed my mind: if…

Seems to cost €2 internationally on this french website : https://www.merci-facteur.com/tarifs.php
