Hi PH! I wanted an easy way to send postcards, so, over a few weekends I built The Simple Postcard. Send a postcard by text message! To get started, just text a photo to 251 265 2848.
(My girlfriend made the website look good!)
Let me know what you think!
@sethlouey Looks like Stripe had an issue with the card. Glad it worked now!

@jastrauss Very cool product, Jason. Added the number to my address book. Are you hoping to integrate payment into cell phone bill or a Paypal login to avoid having to type credit card into mobile (which is kind of a pain)?
@gregbilsland Select "Remember me" on checkout, so you don't have type in the cc info every time!
I haven't found an easy way to charge via the cellphone bill. I will likely add Paypal soon!

This looks awesome! How much 'manual' work is involved on your end at the end of someone placing an order? If you received 10k orders one fine day, would you be able to scale this up using an API?
@andmitsch@jastrauss Good to know about Lob's API too. I know I had seen some API's from Walgreens Photo service too.

I launched a very similar product a few years ago. I'd love to share our challenges with you. nemrowj at gmail. Shoot me an email. This was our app: http://www.pigeonpic.com/
@far0s Thanks, should be in the EU in a few weeks!

I really like the idea. People love receiving postcards. I did a vid on my channel 3 weeks ago about sending postcards to people and sent more than 50 I wrote myself. 10 different countries.
Do you think you could get this international? Because I want to keep doing that in my vids but sending my own pics.
Here's a link to the vid: http://bit.ly/2a2NHwr
And another postcard product (mine). Sendwithscout dot com. Jason and I are good friends and The Simple Postcard is awesome! Use it, it's super reliable.
