Hey folks, happy to share my new toy with you on here 😁 I dislike business cards so much, that when the time came to make them, I decided to build an app for it instead. Instead of using fancy tech, I went with email, because that wouldn't require the other person to have the app. Since typing in emails is not fun, I added Reverse Mode, which lets you pass your phone to the other person for them to type it in. At the end of the interaction, you get an organized app with your new AcQUAintances and they get a fancy profile in their inbox to remind them of you. The story behind the app and its features: https://medium.com/@msavin/intro... Looking forward to your feedback and questions 🤓

@msavin awesome. Downloaded. Main thing I would want is the ability to whip out my phone and scan their card and have it immediately email them while we are at the event. I wouldn't want to type it out.

@minhistry Agree. I'll ping you with the story soon, I think it will resonate well. As far as card scanning - I hope it comes sooner than later :)

This is a very interesting concept I enjoy how instantly it sends my info into their inbox it's a great leg up seeing as most cards are lost and others seldom have the time to input info into their contact while meeting people in person. I usually take photos of the cards so interestingly I think a smart scan feature that integrates it into my contacts would be incredibly valuable.
