GlassPing is a $5 QR sticker for your windshield. Anyone who needs to reach you scans it, sends a message or photo, and you get an instant push ping - no app for them, no number from you. One-time payment, unlimited messages, your number never leaves your pocket. Maker's first comment (the story - this is what gets engagement) Hey hunters 👋 Ever come back to a blocked-in car, a flat tire someone noticed hours ago, or a fresh dent with no note? The usual fix is scribbling your phone number on a piece of paper and leaving it in the window - which means handing your number to every single person who walks past your car. That always bugged me, so I built GlassPing. It's a small QR sticker you put inside the bottom corner of your windshield, facing out. When someone needs to reach you - headlights left on, you're parked them in, a delivery driver can't find you - they just point their camera at it. A simple message form opens (no app, no account, no download), they type a quick note, optionally attach a photo, and hit send. You get a push notification on your phone in seconds. The whole thing is built around one idea: the helpful stranger can reach you, and nothing else can. 🔒 Your number, name, and email are never visible to whoever scans 📲 Instant push pings (works on iOS 16.4+ and Android via PWA - no App Store) 🚫 No data selling, GDPR & CCPA compliant, messages auto-delete after 90 days 💸 $5 once. No subscription, no upsells, unlimited inbound messages forever It's handy for everyday parking, EV charging etiquette, lost items near your car, and fleet/delivery vehicles (one sticker per van, customers reach the right driver without published numbers). Would love your feedback - especially edge cases I haven't thought of and where you'd want this beyond the windshield. AMA! 🚗

GlassPing is now free.

Since launch I've been watching where people drop off, and it wasn't where I expected.

The $5 wasn't really the problem. The problem is that this is a product you buy before you need it, for something that happens maybe once or twice a year. Nobody pays upfront for a thing they hope never happens.

And the people who did pay often stalled at the next step anyway — the code arrived as a PNG, and then they had to go find sticker paper.

So the QR code is free.

One code, unlimited messages and photos, push and email alerts, your private inbox. No card, no trial, nothing that expires.

If you'd rather not print it yourself, there's a one-click option to have it printed and posted to you.

GlassPing Plus — $4/mo or $29/yr

The part you'd want after it has actually earned its keep:

Reply to whoever scanned your sticker — anonymous both ways. They learn nothing about you, you learn nothing about them.
Evidence pack PDF — photo, UTC timestamp, coordinates and a verification hash, in a form an insurer or officer will accept.
A year of message history instead of 30 days.
Quiet hours and a block list.
Unlimited stickers — second car, motorbike, trailer, all one inbox.

Cancel whenever and your code keeps working on free. Nothing you've received is deleted.
