Wow, that actually sounds like a fantastic idea. I can see this being very useful, especially if you add the ability to pre-purchase prints in discounted packages.

Good Job! Execution is everything, and shipping a Product in 2 Weeks is AWESOME! It sounds like you are on the right path, executing fast and getting traction. Keep it up! Make sure to check back in with the customers and use their feedback (I think you know that already after reading your Blog)

OP, if you chose the current title for your HN submission you should be aware that in some countries "Fuck Ya" will be read as "Fuck You". I think you mean "Fuck Yeah"?

So I got to the page, and read the overall blog title, and thought the article was going to go a different way.

Was pleased that it turned out so well, sounds like a great idea -- I know there are companies (for example the one that recently was on the shark tank tv show) that are looking in this space, and I think the process that you've just pointed out is way easier than what they offer

Congrats on shipping quickly!

Small nitpick - Twilio does offer MMS, but you have to have a shortcode in US: https://www.twilio.com/mms

It's a hefty monetary commitment, so for the purposes of this story Twilio does not offer something compelling, but if you have the $$$ it's a solid service.

This sounds awesome. Can I ask how you go about getting shipping details, etc from the sender if they simply give you a name? Is there more to it?

I'm a native English speaker, and I read it as "Fuck you."
