My side-project hit #2 on Product Hunt. Anyone want to take it over?

I launched MailThis in Spring 2020.

I was stuck at home during COVID quarantine. I needed to send something in the (real) mail, but I had no ink or paper to print it out.

So I created a way to send any PDF via snail-mail right from your browser. Just upload a document, pay postage, and send.

The site had thousands of visitors and hundreds of users in the first month, but I had no time to follow-up. I keep busy with another, much bigger project.

Anyone want to take this over?

  1. 5

    I checked numbers of website from Ubersuggest.
    Organic keywords- 6
    Organic traffic- 0
    Backlinks- 138

    How much you earned?(ARR, MRR, etc.)
    What's your selling price?

    1. 2

      No strong metrics to speak of. Just a working product.

        1. 1

          I'm not sure. Make an offer!

    How does it work? Is it using some sort of API for snail mail service? Or you are mailing a printed page by hand?

    1. 1

      Yes, uses an API. Everything is 100% automatic. I often don't even notice that people are using it until I go back and look at the monthly metrics.

    This looks like a pretty cool idea. What’s required for someone to maintain it? Is it a profitable product?

    1. 1

      Maintenance just a few minutes a month, if that.

      Yes, it's profitable. But very low volume.

      1. 2

        try posting it on microacquire?

        1. 1

          I did, actually. Found the process overwhelming. Got like 50 inquiries, most of which weren't very serious.

          This was almost a year ago, and I think the platform has improved dramatically even since then. I'll take another look.
