I just purchased a Beelink Mini S13 with 16GB ram and 1TB drive on Amazon for ~$200 to use as a Docker host on my local network and have been very happy with it so far.

I immediately wiped it and installed Ubuntu Server. I chose Coolify to manage Docker and local domains, and that took a bit of work to get going, but now I can spin up local services and containers on local domains and play with random stuff


Very similar here. I got a beelink a few years about with lower specs than yours and has worked great as a ZoneMinder host after a wiping windows and installing Linux.

Send Postcards online by circling houses on a Google Map:

https://postalagent.com

I'm currently adding support for letters in addition to Postcards


From reading the page: This is to target physical ads based on target demographics?

Yes! You can send to an entire area, filter by residential/business or even select demographics such as home value, household income, etc

I launched https://PostalAgent.com recently that solves a similar problem.

It also can be used for Marketing because you can circle areas on a Google Map to send mailings to, and then filter by Household income, home value, etc

Ping me if you want to chat


Hey!

Let's chat! Postcardlove.com was a small side project that I created while working on the larger project. I think I can use PostalAgent for that project.

Best, Amit


i wanted to build this! but now i don't need to. very great execution here, and your per-unit postcard prices are awesome. is there a minimum?


No, no minimum - send a single postcard if you want!

An option to use a local LLM on network without needing to download the 2GB "default model" would be great



It still forces you to download a model regardless


Great, you can submit a PR, they welcome them.

I run a few side projects using Laravel:

https://PostalAgent.com - Send Postcards Online

https://CheckAnyVin.com - Vehicle history reports


https://postalagent.com is my side project that lets you building mailing lists and send postcards online

https://checkanyvin.com is a slightly older project that lets you run vehicle history reports cheaper than other services


PostgalAgent seems cheap, 0.72$ per card? Maybe I am wrong, I would've thought it might cost more!

Where do you get the data from? census.gov?

BTW, the demo link seems broken - https://checkanyvin.com/free-report/sample/1N4DL01AXYC165358


The data comes from a few different sources, like MelissaData.

Thanks for noticing the broken link, I fixed it


Postalagent seems like it's mostly targeting real estate agents? Seems like you have quite a few competitors there. I played around with editing the template graphic, it's a little hard to use but like the idea!


This is amazing, nice work. Definitely one of the better starter kits I have seen.

Thank you for the feedback. There are more demographic filters coming too, as well as additional lists like "new movers" or "new homeowners"
