post

inspiration

post is an idea I had when I was home in Colorado. I was spending time with my grandma and it made me really sad that I couldn't communicate with her easily while I'm away. She's hard of hearing and doesn't own a computer. I realized it would be great if I could send her some pictures and letters every once in a while: postcards!

The whole website is powered by Lob, which is an awesome printing API. It's pretty cheap too: just $0.70 for a 4"x6" postcard and $1.50 for a colossal 6"x11" postcard! Since post uses the Lob API directly, you pay the Lob price and nothing more. I'm not out to make money with this project.
