CardThis is proud to be a part of New York’s Photo Hack Day Saturday February 24th.
Smart people from across the country are coming to General Assembly to build awesome photo apps in an old-fashioned hackathon.
We’re giving away a Lytro camera that best incorporates our awesome technology in its app.
Here are the details:
What CardThis Does:
There are so many amazing photo apps coming to the market these days, but so few ways to turn these incredible images into meaningful, tangible items that people can cherish and share with one other. The CardThis technology is absolutely the best way to share images offline. With one click of a button, users can turn any images into fantastic greeting cards. After the users type in their messages and input their addresses and payment info, we print the cards at a top-notch facility and send them directly to the recipients.
How the Tech Works:
The CardThis technology is incredibly simple. It’s just one line of javascript, and it can be built into any program, mobile or otherwise. CardThis is built for everyone and every platform. All you have to do is sign up here to get access to the code (and get paid whenever a card gets sent from your app!) Got a tech question? Email our founder Josh – Josh@CardThis.com – and he’ll get you all set in no time.
Ideas for Apps:
By letting people share the web offline in the form of gorgeous personalized greeting cards, CardThis instantaneously makes the world a more thoughtful place. Any app that truly incorporates that spirit of sharing will grab our attention. Here are a few examples:
- InstantCardma: Any picture taken with this app is automatically turned into a greeting card and sent by mail to a loved one.
- PenPals: Like a mashup of PostSecret and ChatRoulette using printed greeting cards.
- ThankYouNow: An app that automatically sends printed thank you cards once gifts have been purchased from wedding registries.
