This app seems like a massive identity collector.

Also, I accidentally figured out what port they are running on because FB redirected me to it when I didn't agree to connect.

Combine with sendwrite.com like functionality for effortless letter sending?

Nice work Cole. Postcard on the run has something like this that they call "Gopher" http://www.postcardontherun.com/postal-gopher

But I like the open-ended use of SendSpree. Though I wish I could just type in an email, instead of having to auth with one of cloudsponge's gmail/etc integrations. This reminds me to code up a simple mailer/form for Picplum users to fetch addresses. Though oddly enough it has rarely been requested from our users.

I've wanted this since forever - it's so awkward to ask for addresses and keep all of them sorted. Thank you for building this!

This is potentially a very useful site. I wish I had this a a few weeks ago as I've recently been inundated with address requests! Thanks for doing this.

On a side note: I see Twitter Bootstrap, Mailgun, and Cloudsponge. Any other providers being used here? I love seeing projects that take advantage of the available resources / frameworks. Truly nice work.

You got the big ones. Django on nginx+uwsgi hosted by linode in the back. This was my first bootstrap site, and boy was I impressed. I love how functional bootstrap is-- all the basic UI elements are available. For a quick job, it's a great option.

I traveled around the country once for a long while without an address. Friends sent me letters and parcels using general delivery at post offices. It worked quite well!

I needed to do this a few months ago, this could have been really helpful. What I did instead, was export one Gmail contact to CSV, import that into Google Docs Spreadsheet, then create a form there that people can fill out (with just the fields I needed) and send that off to their email. Once collected, I could easily sanitize the data, use it for my offline mailing (announcement card in this case) and export it back into Google Contacts (now I have the info always on my phone, etc).
