I've always loved sending and receiving mail from people I care about. That unexpected surprise of finding something personal in a sea of bills and marketing junk was always a highlight. However, the time required for putting together a card kept me from doing it as often to as I'd like. I had to go buy a postcard (1-2$), go home and write it, then go to the post-office, buy a stamp($0.35), and mail it. I wanted to build a simple site to make this process easier and reduce it down to the only element that matters: The message.

I wanted to avoid sign-ups and all that bs. I just want to make it feel like an express checkout lane. I also wanted the price to be competitive, so I set it at 2 bucks flat.

I used the JAMStack. Front-end is made in Svelte (Can't recommend enough) and hosted on Netlify. The backend is on Firebase Functions, and I use firestore as the database. Payment processing is done using Stripe.
