What I built
With the quarantine/lock-down in place my parents have been really missing seeing their granddaughters. I built this as a way to send them pictures in the mail with the least amount of resistance. No apps to download, no software, use any cellphone... just send a text message to a Twilio number and a postcard will be mailed the next day!

How I built it (what's the stack? did I run into issues or discover something new along the way?)
Built with:
- API Gateway
- Lambdas
- S3
- Secrets Manager
- Twilio!
- https://lob.com/
Some fun things learned along the way:
- Hangouts + Google Fi will resize images to 100x100, not great for postcards!
- https://github.com/keithrozario/Klayers is a life saver!
