Awesome seeing this here! I hope this will get you the traction you need to keep it up and running! Happy New Year by the way!

I made a WhatsApp chatbot[1] a while back that helps you customize and send postcards from within WhatsApp.

This is a great idea , it all comes to privacy on the address that is shared. How are those preserved

[theveloped]

It’s definitely important! The addresses are stored for generating the postcard designs and shipping them to the recipient only.

The card is however printed by a third-party with whom we thus have to share the address details for shipping. From there on the is no additional privacy concernes compared to sending a postcard by hand.

This is pretty cool. Do you have any metrics on how long it takes to arrive at the destination from the time of ordering? I'm curious to know how long it would take to arrive in the USA, South America (i.e Colombia) or Australia.

Not the OP, but I post postcards from USA as hobby (member of site Postcrossing); Cards to slower postal countries like Russia China or African Continent take anywhere between 15-45 days, depending on how countryside the address is. Cards to faster postal countries like Germany Denmark Sweden etc take about 6-10 days. Obviously there are exceptions.

Anything like that for Telegram? Not necessarily by you, I mean in general. I know it supports bots so this should be possible.

None that I know of but it should be fairly easy in telegram. It perfect for chatbots! Integration with WhatsApp was the hardest part really. I know there used to be a version for Facebook messenger[1] though.

Great idea! I considered an SMS interface but kept with web as an MVP. Good luck with your project! If you'd like to stay in touch, please connect with me: [e-mail]
