Scribble documentation
Scribble writes real handwritten cards with a machine that holds a real pen, then addresses, stamps and mails them for you across the US. These 49 pages cover card orders, scheduled sending and the API.
For a one-off card, browse the cards and add your message. Pay for the order at checkout, or sign in to use credits from Just me.
