I’m working on https://postcardlove.com — a super simple site that lets you send real postcards using a photo from your phone. No login, just upload, write, and send.
It started because I wanted to send my sister an old photo for her birthday, and instead of using CVS or Shutterfly like a normal person, I ended up building it using Bubble and Lob.
Now I’m exploring the B2B angle — a friend asked if I could do postcard mailings for her medical practice. Curious if anyone here has experience with postcards for outreach or marketing?
yay, postcard apps! this is my space, too. there's something really fun about making an API call and then postcards shoot out the other side.
i like your site and the visual design, very simple and straightforward. at $3.99 it does seem rather expensive compared to other options out there (i have an idea on how much it costs you). also, having some actual pictures of what the cards look like on the website will surely help with conversion.
the first postcard app I built is Three Kind Words (https://threekindwords.com). it’s a small vending machine on the internet where people anonymously send a friend three postcards, one word at a time. the first two cards are unsigned, and the last one reveals who sent them. it’s meant to be a slow, kind surprise in the mail. we've sent over 250 cards so far.
my latest postcard app is Slow-Mo Rainbow (https://slowmorainbow.com). this one lets you send a rainbow in the mail, one postcard at a time. i just launched it last week and am still getting the rough edges worked out, but in the spirit of the thread, i'm sharing it here.
It also can be used for Marketing because you can circle areas on a Google Map to send mailings to, and then filter by Household income, home value, etc
Let's chat! Postcardlove.com was a small side project that I created while working on the larger project. I think I can use PostalAgent for that project.
