@rrhoover Thanks, Ryan! I received a handwritten note from your team back during my Eventjoy days. It was a nice surprise. We don't have any plans for handwritten notes today. What do you think about a variety of handwritten fonts that are actually nice? :)

@toddg777 I concur with @rrhoover 😃. A/B test handwritten vs non. You could see a big difference.

@toddg777 @rrhoover there are those services that let you handwrite all the letters into a pdf, scan it, and then convert it to a font using your handwriting. Being able to upload a custom font like that, to use here, would be absolutely amazing!

@rrhoover @toddg777 This seems really wonderful...but saying that a handwritten font is the same as a human being handwriting each letter is completely different. One is done entirely by a human another is done in part by a machine. In essence, this really are two separate businesses because one would cause more friction in scale etc, reminds me of that movie Her where the lead actually did this exact thing for a living. That scene was actually fostering a discussion around this not can this be technically possible it could years ago it's that should it be this way and what are the costs when we in some way disconnect people a bit. I'd love to see an option even if there was an additional cost around making this more personal, handwritten notes would do that. Because their is a difference between getting a handwritten heartfelt card from a human and facebook, a computer system sending out an automated email saying happy birthday to me.

@nicholassheriff @rrhoover Agreed. I think there's a middle ground. Handwritten cards can just become cost prohibitive even at a modest scale. From the campaigns we've seen go through Mailjoy so far, none of them even include a personal message where this would come into play. Edit: Forgot to mention, the precursor to Mailjoy was a consumer app called Cardpop (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) where we helped people send personal, snapchat-like postcards to friends and family.

@rossdcurrie Yes! I see you're from Perth so I know you get it. When we're successful, quokkas will be mainstream.

@toddg777

@rossdcurrie This is incredible. You just made my day.

@rossdcurrie @toddg777 OH MY 😂

@toddg777 Any UK love?

@mirmayne Potentially in the future! Drop me a note at todd [AT] mailjoy and I can keep you in the loop!

@mirmayne @toddg777 any updates on this by any chance?

@nikkw0ng We're actually built on top of Lob. They're an API company so we built a full interface to make sending direct mail accessible without any engineering required.

@georgeholeva We don't, but if you're looking to automate mail into a product I'd suggest checking out Lob directly.

Neat to hear you're using Lob. Found them years ago when I was sending 25 checks per week to small business owners when working on a marketplace. Do you have a data-out API? Your page mentions tracking so I'm wondering if it's possible to connect results (like post cards not delivered, etc) back into metrics tools like Mixpanel and Amplitude.

@aacook Thanks, Alex. No API on our end, but we have some integrations planned to help on this front. Beyond that, we'll have a simple export tool out very soon.

@justinkan I think we really need to make some quokka swag -- people love Joey (The Quokka aka the bear). Joey was designed by Alfrey (https://dribbble.com/shots/31996...) This amazing PH thumbnail was designed by @zosegal.

@zosegal Thanks, Zach! Digital inboxes are super noisy these days while physical mail volume has generally declined -- though direct mail is still 57% of USPS' mail volume. Sending personalized physical mail to the right audience with an eye-catching creative is a way to get your message noticed. We're still in early days, but initial customers (seed to series B companies) have been mostly using it for new user acquisition. Another one or two have used it for reengagement.

@toddg777 any industries you are excited to see adopt this? Real estate immediately springs to kind

@gwintrob @karlhwhite Thanks, Gordon! I'm a big fan of Get Put Post. For anyone interested, the article cited here is a good one.

@growwithjason Yup! Zapier is first up on the integration roadmap.

@casielane Thanks, Casie! Unfortunately, we only support US addresses today. We do this because our delivery tracking system only provides data on US addresses. We'll look into international support in the future. If you email me at first name @ mailjoy, I can keep you in the loop :)

@gflandre Thanks, Guillaume! Today we support 4x6 and 11x6. The 11x6 cost quite a bit more, but they're huge. For the right campaign, they make sense. Here's some more info on the differences: http://www.mailjoy.com/resources...

@davegerhardt Thanks so much for the support, Dave! Looking forward to working with you. P.S. - We're big fans of Drift. It's been a major 🔑 for us today.

@boogsau Unfortunately, US recipients only right now. You're right, we'll make that more clear.

@rudpunk Thanks for being an early customer!

@lastridgely Sure thing. We're able to personalize each mailer using a recipient's data. Today, this includes things like their name, city, and the ability to create a custom promo code. In the near future, we'll support any kind of data they upload. Versus a traditional shop: self-service, ability to personalize at scale, no minimums (good for a/b testing), no additional fees beyond per mailer costs, and delivery tracking. That list will keep growing over time.

@mikegelphman @karlhwhite Thanks, Michael! Same level of support here. Reach out anytime :)
