Hi russell. Right now the formatting is pretty simple. You can use whitespace to break up the message or indent a paragraph. We're currently working on a card designer interface that will allow much more customization. If you have any specific requests please shoot me an email at cole (at) sendwrite.com.

Are you in SF?

Here are a few of the articles I've found:

http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/designing-a-secure-rest-api-with... Complete, easy to understand article that outlines the HMAC approach but suggests that things can be much simpler if HTTPS is employed.

http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/12/principles-for-standard... Claims that you should use HTTPS and sign your queries using a private key. This seems onerous for the API user.

What browser are you using? You should be able to see some of the mailbox regardless of the size of your viewport.

Got rid of the YC logo. The article got a lot of hits so I wanted to show it off a bit, but I understand the confusion.

1- the story of the site has changed a bit. but I get your point. If nothing else the cartoon has personality. 2- I got a lot of feedback with my launch that the email-registration process was complicated, so I decided to offer this web registration as the primary way to sign-up. So the step-by-step instructions don't really apply now. 3- I could definitely make another video for the new site.

I'll definitely try to add an "about us" page with a few details. Thanks for your thoughts!

Wow, not the feedback I wanted to hear, but I appreciate it. The key aspect to the new design is that it allows you to create a card from the landing page, whereas the old design requires email for registration. I could potentially bring back the old design and insert the envelope into it. I get the point about the website having character. I'll have to think about this.

Can you tell me roughy how large your window is?

Right now its partially automated. I get a message if my algorithm can't figure it out.

I hear you. More cost transparency. I'll get it up on the front page asap. Thanks.

Right now I'm only delivering in the US.

I'll take a look at the submit/logout issue. Thanks again.

Great tips. I appreciate them!

I like your second idea about the email addresses.

WRT price. I just can't afford to offer the first card free. I've received nearly 200 cards in the first hour. Once I get going though, I'll definitely consider promotions like this.

Agreed. The price will be more transparent during the web reg process. I was really trying to keep it simple on the landing page since it's a bit confusing. Frankly I didn't want to hit people with an out-of-the-ordinary registration process and the price both at once. But I certainly don't want to lead people on. I'm curious, did you expect it to be free?

Thanks for the encouragement! I like your photo printing idea!

Wow, what an awesome response. And such great ideas and feedback. I'm ecstatic.

Assistly seems like an interesting customer service platform if human vs issue centered customer service really is their differentiating feature.

Idk. I didn't notice anything fishy in Safari w/ java enabled.

The first vimeo video really gets me.
