A tool for archiving & converting scans of postcards, and information about them.

Postcards#

When I'm archiving images of a postcard I want to store the front, back, and context/metadata (physical size, how it flips) together So that I don't accidentally lose/separate the different parts.

I want to be able to mark areas as private and tastefully hide the information within them So that I can hide my address when sharing or displaying.

I want to be able to use a command line tool So I can archive many postcards quickly and in an automated way.

I want to be able to use a web-based tool to archive a postcard So that I can do it without needing anything installed.

I want to be able to store text transcriptions of the writing on the postcard So I can search through a large postcard collection easily.

When I am displaying an archived postcard I want it to be easy and pretty to show on the web So that I get around to actually displaying it.

I want to be able to convert my postcard into a 3D format (eg. USDZ) So that I can preserve the physicality of the postcard.

I want to be able to extract metadata in easy to process formats (eg. JSON, YAML) So that I can create static sites that show off the metadata as well as the front/back.
