About Postcard
Postcard combines a simple personal homepage with a small newsletter. You pick a layout, add a bio, links and photo, publish on a Postcard address or your own domain, and visitors can sign up for email updates directly on the page. You can then write posts and send them to your list without connecting a separate email tool. It is aimed at people who want a tidy home on the web to link from social profiles, résumés and email signatures, rather than at publishers building a business. There is a single paid plan with a free trial, and no free tier. It doesn't offer paid subscriptions, deep analytics or advanced segmentation, and the design options are intentionally limited. It runs in the browser. It suits professionals, job seekers and writers who want a personal site and an occasional email update to the people who care, without managing two products.
Best for: Individuals who want a personal homepage with simple email updates in one place.
