Effective design, no splash page, no ads, no bullshit, just fill it out and go. Very cool.

I sent a card.

Feedback:

Let me upload a pic, having to upload it to dropbox + link it was an inconvenience.

More information about shipping or how long it takes to send out/receive would be help.

Also a follow up email confirming the order would be nice. I only received the paypal one.

Edit: Just noticed it used Backbone. Very smooth.

Agreed, uploading could be easier. It also needs a scraper so people can link a website (especially things like imgur).

Definitely something to iterate on :)

Right now I just wanted to see if people would even send cards in the first place.

Awesome. I like seeing the price right there on the front page. It's not clear if you support sending postcards to international addresses, though. Is it $2 to anywhere in the world? (That's fantastic value if so, because it's 98 cents just for the postage for an international postcard sent from the USA.)

Unless the post office's price listing was lying, it should be international yeah :)

Good job! Do you mind to share which service you use to send snail mail? And, comparison of different services? If not I do understand.
