What's old is new again. I wanted to share an experiment I built for my blog: a print edition, delivered to physical mailboxes.
This idea was inspired by Craig's "Between Two Mountains" pop-up. As those emails accumulated in my inbox, I wanted to print them out so I could carry them to a coffee shop. That sent me down a rabbit hole, and I ended up building a printing system for my own site.
Sharing because I think it's a fun idea that I hope more blogs embrace. And, it's built on the YC company Lob.
- abnercoimbre 10mo agoBookmarked! Excited to look into this and potentially subscribe this week. Our coding meetups [0] are going increasingly offline and I'm looking for ways to exit the feed [1]. So I really want to learn from organizations like The Offline Club and now you.

- philip1209 10mo agoThanks for sharing! Lob.com is a powerful tool - I think more people should experiment with it. I know Robin Sloan did an experiment a few years ago that used GPT-2 to send poetry to people via Lob mail. There's something so cool about APIs that create actions in the physical world.
