Show HN: ImagePoke (Snapchat for postcards) (opens in new tab)

My buddy and I created ImagePoke over the course of a week as a side project. We're pretty new to web development, so we're learning a lot as we go.

The idea for ImagePoke is pretty simple:

1) Upload/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's address as a postcard in ~ 7 days

A Picture of the first two ImagePokes ever:

We've got full "account" support (at the end of the process you can create an account that stores recipient addresses and payment methods), but this is optional.

Any suggestions/criticisms would be massively appreciated, as I said, we're both quite new at this..

Thanks!

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/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?
