I'm launching this on Product Hunt soon. Any last-minute feedback?

    BEFORE YOU LAUNCH YOU NEED TO SAY SOMEWHERE ON THE WEBSITE THIS SERVICE IS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE US-BASED ONLY!

    • Not a fan of things trying to get my location straight up. You should be able to work out from my IP address that I'm in Western Australia, no need for the pop-up that I need to click "block" on. Plus, you don't need to know where I'm located, just where the destination is.
    • Could put $1.99 somewhere in the header somewhere. Even "For Just $1.99". The price won't deter anyone.
    • I feel like the writing box needs a boundary. You just end up with this big piece of whitespace under "Click here to start writing..." It should probably also not start at 100% height because I can scroll and start typing and not see the char counter or the address/payment form
    • Similarly, the address/payment form seems a bit ephemeral. Like it's just floating there. I'd maybe consider having "To" and "From" as two separate columns on desktop - the way the "To: Name" is on the left and the address details on the right seems like wasted space
    • Could put a bit of a "Step 1: Who are you sending this letter to?" "Step 2: Who are they receiving a letter from?" vibe into this

    Best of luck with the PH Launch!

      Thanks for the awesome feedback!

      Though I'm not sure what you mean about trying to find your location. Was there a browser pop-up asking about this?

          Hmm. I didn't do that on purpose, so I'm wondering what's going on there. I'll look into it today.

            Guessing its your use of wp-forms geolocation.
