In plain words

Create and Mail a Free Postcard is a web tool that lets users design and send physical postcards at no cost. Launched in 2019, it's designed for anyone who wants to send a tangible greeting or message to friends, family, or contacts. The service handles both the design creation and mailing process, making it straightforward to produce and deliver postcards without payment.

From the sources

This began as a Mother's Day gift. My mother loves my photos, but hates using computers, smartphones, etc. I created this service to quickly send physical copies of my photos, and then built out the service a little more to also send to nieces and nephews. Today, I regularly send postcards to my family and close friends. As mentioned, my original audience (my mother) avoids technology. I have nieces, nephews and young cousins who are also too young to use online photo sharing services. But they love getting mail! Since launching the service, I've realized that basically everyone loves getting something in the mail that's not a bill or junk mail—even more so when it's a pretty picture!…from postcardmailer.herokuapp.com

When I worked at Webflow, it became clear to me that most website builders are way too complex for individual users. So, I drew inspiration from social media - where all you need is a couple photos and text fields to get a great site online. So, I think I’ve about achieved a site builder that even my Mom could use. The product seems simple, but there are many under-the-hood optimizations. There's caching, CDNs, custom domain support, TLS…

    Angeldust – a fast and efficient video game▲716

    After years of solo development I'm presenting: Angeldust, an omni-compatible action RPG and building game! Website: http://angeldu.st My single server hosts 250+K active players in one giant, dynamic fantasy world. Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks. The client is programmed in C++…
