I was stoked to see this pop up on Product Hunt out of the blue. My pal Steve (https://twitter.com/stevem21m) and his cofounder Taka previewed this to me a month or so ago.
I got a match in Europe today (the first one that's come up) and was surprised to see that it translated my post to Spanish for the benefit of the recipient.

Glad you found our app and I found this site! Thanks for the listing us. We just added all countries to the latest build... so... hopefully all continents fill up.

@rrhoover Thanks. Another guy we work with, Karl, came up with the idea of creating a pen pal app. We all loved the idea and all of us had pen pals when we were kids. We thought it would be awesome if we could talk to people from all over the world, just randomly select someone and start a conversation with them. We also thought it would be useful if we could translate messages (postcards) for people. Taka (Designer/CEO) is from Japan so we started writing back and forth, English/Japanese with photos. We loved the experience and thought other people would dig an app like this... so we made PSTMRK.
Nice, @stevem21m. Here's a quick thought....
Taptalk gives people the ability to introduce brand new users to friends of theirs on the app. Something similar could be useful on PSTMRK and help reduce the friction in finding a penpal.

@rrhoover YES, We've been talking about doing this, but haven't made a decision. We have a bunch of ideas we want to implement AND are open to any suggestions. Thanks for the feedback, it will come up in our next meeting.
