IMO this is a little premature, I know it has an alpha label but functionally this has catch up to do with a number of existing offerings in what is a fairly competitive space. That said, a sane API on top of a service that works globally would appeal.
Here are some suggestions: 1) add the ISO 216 paper sizes that most of the world uses, 2) integrate to various contact / address book formats, 3) add a templating/mailmerge feature, 4) figure out a capability to print and send in more countries than just the US and 5) imagine what questions a compliance officer will ask about security, privacy, data sharing etc and answer them.
Look forward to seeing it evolve.
Edit: formatting lists. Grr.
- MetaCosm 13y agoCould you list some of the competitors? The space doesn't seem competitive, it seems like crap.
- gfodor 13y agoAmazingmail has been awesome. Their actual API isn't really the most elegant thing in the world (XML), but on the list of things that matter when you are dealing with printing and mailing physical products this comes in low on the list of what's important. Their API is reliable and feature complete and my customers have been thrilled with their prints, which is all I care about. Not to mention, their customer support is superb. I think it's great to see more competition here but people pointing to a REST API and nice website and ignoring the fact that there are no actual examples of their work or any reason to believe they can deliver on their service, nevermind that their pricing is insane, show these people have not done their homework or are focused on the wrong things.
- MetaCosm 13y agoThanks! I am currently shopping a low-volume on-demand print service... as soon as I went to AmazingMails site and saw "no minimum" I became delighted, will be testing them out this week!
