Postcard
Remember postcards? There was something special about getting one in the mail—proof that someone, somewhere, was thinking about you. We still send messages all the time, but they don't quite hit the same. A text is quick. An email is practical. But a postcard? That took effort. That meant something.
PostCard brings that feeling back. Design a card, add your photo, sign it with your actual handwriting, and send it off—instantly. It's got the personal touch of the real thing, just without the week-long wait or the hunt for a stamp.
Sometimes the old ways were onto something. I just gave them a refresh.

About
About
PostCard is a digital postcard creator that brings the personal touch of traditional postcards to the modern web. Built with React and TypeScript, it lets you create beautiful postcards with real-time previews, custom signatures, and photo uploads.
The platform renders high-quality images using Playwright, features a two-sided design (message + signature on front, photo on back), and sends postcards instantly via email. It's designed to make digital communication feel as thoughtful as sending a physical postcard.

Postcard Generation System
Implemented a sophisticated image generation pipeline using Playwright to render HTML content in headless Chrome, producing high-quality postcard images with perfect styling and proportions. The system handles dynamic color schemes, automatic text contrast adjustment, and maintains authentic postcard dimensions while ensuring crystal-clear output at 2x device scale factor for professional quality.

Conclusion
PostCard isn't about bringing postcards back exactly as they were. It's about keeping the part that mattered—the personal gesture—and making it work for how we actually communicate now.
Turns out, people still appreciate something made just for them. We just brought it into the digital age and made it easier to send.
