My buddy and I created ImagePoke over the course of a week as a side project. We&#x27;re pretty new to web development, so we&#x27;re learning a lot as we go.<p>The idea for ImagePoke is pretty simple:<p>1) Upload&#x2F;Provide a URL for an image 2) Crop said image 3) Doodle on said image 4) Provide recipient address details 5) Provide payment ($3.00) via stripe 6) Doodled image arrives at recipient&#x27;s address as a postcard in ~ 7 days<p>A Picture of the first two ImagePokes ever:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imgur.com&#x2F;XRltBxH" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imgur.com&#x2F;XRltBxH</a><p>We&#x27;ve got full &quot;account&quot; support (at the end of the process you can create an account that stores recipient addresses and payment methods), but this is optional.<p>Any suggestions&#x2F;criticisms would be massively appreciated, as I said, we&#x27;re both quite new at this..<p>Thanks!<p>- Tim

You have a great conversion process. I eased right into creating the card and thought 3 bucks is cheap enough to try once so I did it. I guess improvements could be: Filters on the picture, different types of stencils&#x2F;stamps, and a smaller drawing tool for when I really want to get my art on. Only competition in this space that my google search found was services that send an unedited postcard. Anyone else doing this?
