We started Phaxio with the simple idea to create a simple, kick-ass, faxing API that developers would want to use. A couple of weeks ago we released the sending side of Phaxio, today we're releasing the receiving side.

You won’t need to pay to rent a phone number here, which should be a pleasant change and save you a couple of bucks. In fact, we’ve got some much cooler ideas in mind.

We’re going to use barcodes (which we call phaxcodes) to route your faxes to you. You can also associate specific meta-deta to each phaxcode you generate. You can drop phaxcodes onto your documents manually (the non-cool way), or you can give us an X and Y, send us the doc and let us put it on (the semi-cooler way) or you can host a document with phaxio, use our awesome interface and drag the phaxcode where you want on the page. Sound awesome? It is.

Of course, if you have an idea, send it over or give us a call.

Also, we’d like to thank our friends over at Twilio for all the support that they’ve given us (we’re sitting in their offices now). Twilio is awesome and they’re some of the coolest people we know. If you haven’t heard of Twilio make sure to check them out.
