I signed up for your service. Do you have any competitors in this space? I thought the experience overall was very simple. Are you thinking about adding options for the prints? For example, glossy v. matte or 4x6 v 5x7?

Edit: I see you replied to someone else and I cannot tell if the service is actually live (as in my card is going to be charged and photos are going to ship).

It’s live, and thanks for signing up! The photos you text in will ship in a month from now.

We’re definitly going to add other options in time. Right now we’re trying to get the MVP right with 4x6 glossy prints.

There’s a few other services that let you send postcards (expensive) or use apps to let you grab pictures from your phone. The apps tend to have more friction than just sending an MMS and to my knowledge, we’re the only ones that let you add the captions for context for your grandparent.

Would love feedback as you use it more. We’re pretth fast at building stuff and love hearing ideas from our customers.

Another option that would be good would be to allow to crop. I know I sent some photos in that are not 4:3 so I'm curious to know how they will print. I'm assuming they will be centered by whichever print to ship service, but others that may not understand what's happening here might have some heads chopped off in a printed picture.

Thanks for signing up Matt. Just sent a response to the support ticket you sent. Thanks for taking the time to let us know about that bug.

We have the ability to do matte or glossy already and I just need to get in there an add it as an option. I'll make a note to ping you once that's ready.

The service is live and ready. Your first order will ship in 30 days from now! :)
