sqgl: send personalized, physical postcards the digital way

sqgl is a mobile app that allows you to use your phone’s camera and pictures to send personalized, physical postcards to your loved ones. Notably, the app eliminates the traditional frictions of finding a postcard, writing down addresses, buying stamps, and hunting down a post office by automating and operationalizing the physical development and sending of the postcard. The app includes a number of techsavvy features, such as automated SMS messaging if you’re missing a contact’s address, options to personalize your card with emoticons and a touchgenerated signature (or a namesake “squiggle”), and Apple Pay compatibility. The app also includes an option for customized watermarks on the final postcard, a nod to potential partnership opportunities with hotels, hostels, and restaurants.
