Show HN: Handwritten Christmas Card for Hacker News
Hi HN, I've been working on a small project that transforms
handwritten notes into animated, shareable cards. While the create
functionality isn't live yet, I wanted to share a sneak peek by
creating a handwritten Christmas card specifically for the HN
community. I started thinking about this after seeing too many AI-
generated cards, cookie-cutter email templates, and overly polished
designs that lack any personal touch. A friend recently sent me a
handwritten card in the mail, and I found it nice that he took his
time to write a handwritten note. I wanted to capture that same
feeling without the overhead of snail mail.
