Show HN: Postcard Bot – Send Any Photo as a Postcard with a Text Message Hey HN! This is a fun little project that I built over a weekend back in 2016, and then as life happened I let it dwindle and die. Per request from friends and family, I’ve brought it back to life. Check it out if you want! It’s surprisingly fun receiving physical postcards in the mail. I’ve also got WhatsApp integration and some more fun things in the works, so stay tuned! https://ift.tt/fio7b2q March 8, 2023 at 06:25AM
