send me a message to my Thermal Printer!

Hi guys!

Some weeks back I purchased a cheap chinese 57mm Thermal Printer, primarily as an accesory for my flight simulation setup (there’s a thermal printer in most cockpits irl to print METAR, ATIS, etc.) and that worked nicely. then I realized I could use it for much more, if it’s integrated into my desk after all.

So I started work on a new project that now culminated in a full on web-to-printer messaging service with account management and many formats to choose from.

I built in rate limits, user and role management and even threads (I can reply to people with my own print job that gets displayed in their browser the next time they use my website, they can then reply to that, etc.)

I would like to test my system on somewhat of a scale so I’d be thankful if some of you could take the time so send something funny and interesting ;)

the website is Thermal Post and the printer access code is 5064

don’t worry about overwhelming the system, I can always change the access code and disable users :)
