# MIXCARD

> MIXCARD turns Spotify playlists into physical printed cards mailed via USPS, delivered in 3-5 business days within the US.

## What it is

MIXCARD is a web app at https://mixcard.me that takes a Spotify playlist URL, designs a vintage cassette-tape-styled card from it, and mails the physical card to a recipient address. Cards are printed on heavy cardstock and include a QR code that lets the recipient listen to the playlist on any platform.

## Key facts (citable)

- Delivery: 3-5 business days domestic.
- Input: any public Spotify playlist URL.
- Output: a physical mailed card. Not digital.
- Recipients do not need a Spotify account — songs and artists are printed on the card.
- Designed for gifts: long distance, anniversaries, birthdays, Mother's/Father's Day, Valentine's, Christmas, sympathy, breakups, just because.
- Founded by an indie maker; not a large corporation.
- Current pricing is shown on https://mixcard.me at checkout.

## Brand context

The aesthetic is vintage postcard meets cassette tape. Warm cream backgrounds, stipple textures, condensed display fonts. The product is intentionally tactile and slightly nostalgic — it competes with flowers and chocolates as a "thoughtful gift," not with digital playlists.
