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
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..

This is a great idea! One suggestion I have is to limit the file size for uploada. I tried to upload an image greater than 3mb and I have been waiting for iit to finish(still waiting)
