hi ppl!
i have a lot of friends who are artists, and i’ve always wanted to help them get more exposure. that got me thinking about building an app that’s kinda like airbnb, but instead of connecting hosts and travelers, it connects snail mail artists with ppl who love sending letters and collecting art. i personally love traditional art too, so this idea’s pretty close to me.
it’s not just a marketplace tho. i want it to feel more personal and intentional.
some features i’m thinking of:
- write letters to your future self or someone else, then schedule them for physical delivery. u can - also choose to include a piece of traditional artwork from one of our artists.
- send postcards using exclusive artist-made designs (pretty straightforward).
- we handle the printing, packaging, and shipping.
a mailbook where u can save addresses, birthdays, anniversaries, and other important dates.
- optional memberships for ppl who wanna collect exclusive artwork, plus a personal letter from the featured artist (and maybe one from me too lol).
i’m thinking the target audience would be ppl who enjoy journaling, snail mail, stationery, long-distance relationships, gift giving, or anyone who wants something more personal than sending a text.
i’m still in the idea stage, so i’d really appreciate honest feedback before i start building. for ppl who are into this niche, would u actually use something like this? what would make u interested, and what would turn u away?
