Trott.in, Twitter style character limit for beautiful travel blogs

Hey Hacker News, Myself and another nomad have been working on this for a few years. It's a travel blog that aims to make it easier to write (and read) by limiting you to one photo and 350 characters per day. The first part was easy (making it work for us), the second part took a lot longer (adding all the polish to make it usable). Mostly it's a passion project borne out of lack of alternatives. If we were going to monetise it would probably be by adding a feature to turn posts (trots) into postcards, and make a small markup over a printing API like lob.com. Probably not a huge market, but…

If we were going to monetise it would probably be by adding a feature to turn posts (trots) into postcards, and make a small markup over a printing API like lob.com. Probably not a huge market, but I know my family / friends would love a postcard every now and then. I'd love some feedback on the homepage ... http://www.trott.in/ Here's a big trip that we did recently: http://www.trott.in/trips/unomas-all-the-way-down If anyone is out there doing a big trip, or has a trip that they want to put online to share ... I'd love you to take trott.in for a spin and let me know what you think.
