This is a digital business card I built for myself. It's a little Next.js site that shows my contact info and links, with a save contact button that drops a vCard straight onto your phone. I mostly use it for connecting my LinkedIn with people, but it does all my contact info too.
The fun part is how I actually use it. It runs live at contactme.saladsync.ca and I loaded that URL onto an NFC tag that sits inside a 3D printed case on my keychain. At networking events I just tap my keychain to someone's phone and my card pops up. No app, no digging for a paper card, no "let me find you on LinkedIn later." Tap, saved, done. It's been a big hit at events.
This started as a fun little hardware meets web project and now it's probably the most memorable thing about me at events? (i hope not)
- The site is a single page contact card (Next.js + Tailwind).
- It's deployed at
contactme.saladsync.ca. - An NFC tag is programmed with that URL using NFCTools on IOS and tucked into a 3D printed case on my keychain.
- Tap the keychain to a phone, the card opens in the browser, tap Save Contact, done.
It's deployed to Cloudflare Pages on my own website at contactme.saladsync.ca.
Right now it works great on iOS but I still need to figure out why it doesn't work on Android phones. iOS taps open the card and save the contact no problem, Android is being difficult. TODO. (probably because i used NFCTools on IOS to write the nfc tag)
