Build a API dude. This type of service can be useful to some of us who need to send snail mail to customers when they sign-up, cancel, etc. And I agree with everyone else about the prices. Eventually 6c won't cut it and then you'll have to jerk the price up. $1 sounds sexy, but you need to eat.

Well I just built this for fun, and I will definitely end up in the red overall.

How many people would use a physical mailing service like this, if it had an API and lots of options for paper and envelopes?

I'd use it for just about everything. I hate sending letters, but I do really enjoy writing to people. Making the system fully automated would be cool on a number of levels.
i would be more likely to use it if it had an API.
