Ask HN: Text to Handwritten Letter Service - any interest?
I thought it was interesting that I couldn't find this anywhere. It's kind of a hassle sometimes to get stamps, write a letter, and send it in the mailbox. I thought it'd be cool to have a text to handwritten letter service.
Idk, maybe charge $5-$10 to write a letter and send it in the mail. What do you guys think? Viable?
- dave1619 16y agoNo, if I want to send a handwritten note I want it to look like my handwriting. Maybe you can invent a font-creation web app that analyzes my handwriting and creates a font for it.
- rcavezza 16y agoYeah, I hear you. Reminds me of Keith Ferrazzi's Holiday card fiasco. Someone got three different holiday cards from him and they all had different signatures, lol. (From Never Eat Alone)
- Jcasc 16y agoHow would you scale something like this? $5-$10 to write and send a letter is a bit steep considering a stamp costs $0.44. I understand the value of convenience, but that much mark up?
- rcavezza 16y agoNot really sure how to scale it except to have different people making a few extra bucks writing letters around the country - crowdsourcing type of thing w/o any specialized knowledge.
