Check out feltapp.com – Personal, handwritten cards. Sealed, stamped and mailed. All from your phone.

I wish HN had a “Report comment” feature or something similar. I feel the mods do a good job of catching stuff like this, but it’s still kinda frustrating to not be able to do anything about bad-faith comments.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

https://moxie.org/software/sslstrip/ The attitude of "it's cool, only use SSL for the sensitive parts" hasn't been true for a decade.

Again, that looks like it needs to be sitting somewhere between the end user and the webserver. I don't disagree that it is possible to mess with http traffic in flight if it's not encrypted. I do disagree that a) there are bad guys between me and the http://catpictures.com right now and b) They have targeted me with malicious cat pictures that will cause damage somehow. My sites that allow logins are all https only.…

Click on the "n minutes ago" (or similar) link for that comment, then click "flag".

We've actually been working on something similar. Our goal is to make it as dead simple to send a letter as possible in USA. We'd love any feedback people have! https://papermail.in Feel free to drop us a note at support@papermail.in if you have thoughts :)

If targeting US customers I'd avoid using a foreign TLD. If you're targeting Indian customers wanting to send to US addresses it should be fine.

I agree; I wouldn't even think to click that unless I wanted to send a letter in India.

I created http://simplepostal.com a year and a half ago. Just never knew how to get it on top of hacker news :)

I don't like how hard it is to find the pricing... which isn't even very explanatory.

>All included at one low price - printing, postage and shipping. Only pay for what you send. Higher discounts at higher volume. As low as $1.50 per mail.

This is similar. I've never used it but it looks fun: https://handwriting.io/

this is pretty cool. I would love to see a service takes writing samples in your own handwriting and produces a letter that looks like you wrote it.

I run handwrite.io, which does exactly this!

I've been looking the something that's kind of the opposite of this. I'd like to be able to use an address in my city for all my mail - when a letter arrives I'd like to get a scan as an email attachment. I usually get parcels delivered to amazon lockers or my office since I'm out all day.

I use https://mailboxforwarding.com but the main address is in Grandville, Michigan.
