24 alternatives to API for Sending Handwritten Letters
TLDR: We built out an API for sending handwritten letters at https://www.handwrite.io/handwritten-notes-api Quick backstory: I was helping a small moving company build out some marketing automation as a side gig. We were ingesting housing data and as soon as a house went up for sale, we'd use lob.com to send a direct mail postcard letting the home owner know we'd love their business. But the postcards didn't convert well, and were super cliche so I went searching for something that might feel a little more personal. That's when I met my cofounder, Dan, here on Hacker News!…

You simply: 1. Connect your device. 2. Create a top-level `handwritten.blog` folder. 3. Every new notebook in that folder becomes a draft on https://handwritten.blog/ I hope this eventually obviates the need to look at the ugly upload interface you have to use to now upload your writing.

It's Friday, so I want to share one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on. A few years ago, I built four eight-foot-long handwriting robots. We wrote many thousands and thousands of addresses on our direct mail, and wrote personal messages for high value prospects.

Hi HN, I’ve been working on a small project that transforms handwritten notes into animated, shareable cards. While the create functionality isn’t live yet, I wanted to share a sneak peek by creating a handwritten Christmas card specifically for the HN community. I started thinking about this after seeing too many AI-generated cards, cookie-cutter email templates, and overly polished designs that lack any personal touch.

Hi HN, I've lurked here for ages and decided to come out of the shadows for my latest side project which reached the point where it’s sort of fun to use and hopefully not totally embarrassing to share. Hacking fingernotes.com together over a couple of weeks was a creative outlet when work got stressful. I think of it as digital sticky notes. The goal was to make notes with a personal touch that are easy to write and share. I also wanted them to appear as their own link preview image on supported platforms. That way when you send the link to a note, the person sees the message without…
