I used this for the first time last night and while I've seen a ton of "next gen" business card apps, this is the best execution I've seen.
Any plans to support integrations with zapier, IFTTT, or Airtable, @carlmartin? I'd love to integrate this with a CRM I'm building inside Airtable.

@rrhoover Dude. First off, thank you for such an amazing compliment! First slide of the deck when we try and raise :D
As for your question, totally. We want to supplement, not replace other experiences. We have no interest in being a CRM, but want to help feed into what people use. We'll be experimenting some hacky options with power users, so I will keep you in mind if you fancy being one :)

@rrhoover @carlmartin +1 for Zapier support. I current use a similar system ti this but instead Typeform (I have a basic form I use by default, but then customise it for larger conferences/events where I'll likely meet more people) combined with Zapier. The zapier part is essential as lets me extract emails to spreadsheets for reporting, passing into email lists, and a bunch of other stuff. Would be curious if there are any advantages of Ping over using this Typeform/Zapier combo?

@rrhoover @carlmartin I agree feels very natural

@rrhoover You're building a CRM inside of Airtable? Begs the question...why? I ask genuinely, although over the internet it could look sarcastic, because I have my own issues with existing CRM's. But, is it for fun, or because nothing meets your needs, others too bloated or lack features? Also, are you so far able to accomplish what you're wanting to in Airtable for a CRM?

@milla_killa most CRM's are too heavy or restrictive. Spreadsheets (like Airtable) are infinitely customizable and can integrate with so many other services.

@rrhoover @milla_killa I ended up doing the same for my "todo" list. There are a lot of todo list apps out there and I've tried a ton of them, but I always end up going back to the one I built myself in Numbers (Mac OS spreadsheet app).
