Swap contacts by scanning QR codes on your phone

We recently developed a way to get rid of paper business cards and their shortcomings (e.g.: clutter). It's called Napkkin (www.napkkin.com), and it lets you create a business card on your phone and swap it with people you meet by scanning a QR Code. You can get referred by your new contacts and get notified in real-time so you can track who's helping you with word-of-mouth referrals. We've got mobile/desktop web apps and Android/iPhone native apps set up. We're looking for feedback, so let us know what you think!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
