#2One thing I'd say that's missing is the rough amount of time it takes to ship. I was looking at getting one of these for my GF for her birthday (she has a box full of used up notebooks in her garage, so this sounds perfect for her), but without knowing whether or not it would arrive on time, it made me hesitant to get one for her.
That said, love the idea and execution otherwise. It's great to get some insight into the beginnings of a product/startup. Even for those of us with experience in earlier-stage companies, unless you've founded it yourself, you don't usually see the beginnings like you've been presenting on your blog.

#5I love the idea of this.
I currently take all my notes on cheap A4 squared pads, once it's full I tear of each page into a pile and feed them through my scanner and output as a PDF, it takes about 5 minutes to convert an 80 page A4 pad to PDF.
Then I recycle the pad.
Apropos of nothing your video on your home page at video http://modnotebooks.com/ doesn't display on FF27/Linux though the audio plays, while I was noseying as to why (amazing what you learn by wondering why stuff is broken) I noticed you have an unclosed span tag in your dev.l-footer-copyright.

#6I love Need/Want's products (SmartBedding, Mod Notebooks, etc), but I really love how open their blog posts are. The AirBnb ones and product ones that list all costs are incredibly informative, since nobody likes to talk about stuff like that.

#7Looks great - what about privacy/data security? Is the scanned data destroyed once the PDF it's in the hands of the customer?

Bugs happen, it is a young start-up who have moved incredibly fast I don't think calling it tacky is very fair or for that matter bragging.
The piece mostly illustrates how cheaply you can form a product idea and launch an MVP....which considering we are on HN should hardly be counted as bragging.

#10You can already do this with the Moleskine Smart Notebook, except you don't have to mail your private notebook to a 3rd party company for scanning - you can scan them directly into Evernote with the free Evernote app.
tl;dr
The exact same thing exists by Moleskine at http://shop.moleskine.com/en-us/notebooks-journals/evernote/
