Hey everyone!

Not so fitting with the ol 'rona about.. However,

I made this simple and unique way to share you contact data without having to sign-up for a service, all using QR codes and client-side JS.

I would love some feedback.

That’s a pretty interesting concept. Have you used it with anyone?

I was also wondering if this might be good for sending names and addresses where they have a lot of accents/special characters/diacritics that a keyboard might not have (like in parts of asia for example).

The form is nice how it populates fields on demand. I have a form I’m building with about 17 possible fields that I’m trying to figure out the best way to let user add/remove smoothly.

I didn’t look at the code but it might be nice to explicitly state that no addresses are saved on the server, including log files so long as that’s true.

Cheers

Hey, sorry for the late reply.

I've used it a few times with great success, although the flow can be awkward on Android when importing the downloaded .vcf file into the contact app.

Good point with special characters, I can totally see how could be useful.

I was pretty happy with the field option, glad you liked it! Didn't want to overload the user with too many options initially.

I'll make it more explicit that no data is stored, thanks for the feedback :)
