#7This is a full rework of my original project, Postacard.io. The entire project has been completely rewritten. The new version includes a Messenger bot for international use without the SMS fees, as well as statistical NLP in address parsing for faster creation (from start to finish) and better accuracy internationally.
FYI, for those of you using "UK" as your country code. The postcard service this uses recognizes "GB" as the country code for United Kingdom. I'll be putting in an alias for this.

Except it isn't an app :), which is the reason for the original inspiration behind the project. Postcards aren't a very popular thing anymore (hopefully that changes!), and I don't quite believe a dedicated app is justified when you can do it straight from SMS or Messenger.

It's actually been completely rewritten from the original project. This time it includes NLP for address parsing (this was a huge issue with the first version and didnt work properly internationally). It also includes a Messenger bot integration to avoid the international fees with SMS.
