Show HN: TinyCard – A minimalistic & functional e-Card site, like tinyletter

[szemy2]

My brother just had his 39th birthday and as we live in different cities I sent a present to him directly from the shop (it was a gym bag for those who are curious).

The shop didn't let me add a postcard or anything personal to the package so I went looking for an easy/fast eCard service that I considered aesthetically pleasing.

It was a very frustrating search. I thought of creating it with Figma but didn't feel like spending more time building a postcard design (also I wanted it to open in a cool way!!). So I created an app :D (cue Rick & Morty "lets-build-an-app" guy)

This was created with the sentiment how tinyletter (RIP) offered a functional/minimal solution to bloated software.

Lovely!

It’d be nice if it wasn’t specific to a “gift” maybe, but no big deal.

Would be fun is the image could be a GIF.

Maybe the photo credit and expiration could be below the fold (have to scroll) so the card gets more room on a small mobile screen? :shrug:

Nicely done

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I've thought about making this more generic and not just about a gift :) I'll put it on my todo to update it.

Regarding the photo credit & expiration, I'll see how I can move it a bit more to the bottom.
