Direct Slip and its Direct-To-Slip technology, is where retro vibes and modern innovation really meet, by letting people slide into my slips in a way that is convenient, fun and addictive.
For me, Instant Slipping is simply the best way to get in touch.
— Collin Ducraques
The idea is simple:
Use a thermal receipt printer like a Fax machine, allowing users to send short text / image messages for printing on paper slips.
- Leverages python-escpos supported devices
- Synchronous server API to receive messages: no inbox.
- Limited features for message formats (wrapped / non-wrapped text, Images...)
- Minimal security: Auth management and request rate limiting
- Lighter server deployment (API only, Single-board computer framework like MicroPython)
- Home Assistant / Tasmota integration
- Mailbox based printing setup (easy docker mailbox + fetchmail daemon)
- Differente Server / client setup.
- Lightweight contacts management solution
- Get Python 3.12
- Install requirements.txt
- Manage config.toml
- python -m directslip.server
