As a solution architect visiting clients in Europe and North America, I struggled to capture names and roles of people in meetings and workshops. That led to lots of awkwardness and missed opportunities.
All meeting management apps I found assume participants always get calendar invites, which I found to just not be the case.
So I wrote a small web app that uses qr codes to allow participants in meetings and workshops to introduce themselves, using their phones, on the spot and in a way that persists: https://quickintro.app https://quickintro.app
I thought I’d be laughed out of the room first time I asked a room full of people to “check in” by scanning a qr code and filling out a form, but no. It worked. So now I’m releasing it for others who might need it.
- keyncoffee 7y agoThis is very cool. As a sales person, the ability to set an upfront agenda and make things interactive for prospects (within a first meeting especially) is important. I have ways of doing this today but I'm always open to testing new strategies and technologies. I'm in the process of creating a few meetings in QuickIntro and keep hitting the error of "[object Object]" when trying to save or "Create meeting." Any guidance on a fix?
- PedroCandeias 7y agoThanks for checking it out and sorry about that bug! Do you mind shooting me a quick email at pedro@quickintro.app so I can troubleshoot it with you?
- keyncoffee 7y agoAwesome, I just shot you an email now. Thank you for the help.
- bozleh 7y agoNice idea! Just tested it - so the guests have to auth with Google or Linkedin, correct?
- PedroCandeias 7y agoHey, thanks! Yeah, that’s correct. I’m using auth0, so it’s trivial to add more authentication methods too. Is there a specific one you’d need?
