Seriously! It's 2016, unless you rely on 3rd party resources that don't support HTTPS there's no reason why your site shouldn't be HTTPS only. Certificates are free and there's negligible performance overhead with modern CPUs.
Yes, but that's not a general MITM attack as the NSA has pulled off. Only the folks at that particular coffee shop are placed at risk from this particular adversary.
Lob is great. I've used them to mail postcards as well as letters before. They also recently started allowing you to use HTML for the design rather than PDFs.
(my opinions, not my employer's standard disclosure) Lob team has been great to work with - they've accommodated a lot of tweaks we've needed (custom paper, much higher levels of verification). They're good at API backwards compatibility, but they are pretty active on the development front, so it's worth keeping an eye on what changes are coming through on the SDK.
I used Lob for a small side project, it was fantastic. We simply sent HTML to them, which worked out great since we didn't have to deal with any real typesetting and got to design letters with HTML/CSS.
My side project, OttoPost[1] does Instagram postcard mailing. It's currently using Lob's API (which has been great). There are several others too, though.
Nice!
As a heavy user of postagram .. (#1 grandson.. Check) An iOS app that makes this appear in the print options please then I can..:
login to a central site afterwards and choose the content I want to print -> snail mail it to destination
Additionally you could Offer printers to local stores, I could print to my bodega/gas station/Amazon parcel drop/staples etc (Pickup the job via qr code displayed on phone/Apple Pay) for things I need now
I'm looking for something like that that's the best fit for singleton mailings. I want to send one letter at a time. The pricing here isn't unreasonable for that ($1.09), but it seems geared for bulk mailings? Any suggestions?
