- johng 2y agoPretty neat!
- pavlov 2y agoBut does the font selection include Silian Rail and Romalian Type? “Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark…”
- CRConrad 2y agoAt a wild guess: American Psycho? (And if so, how are we to interpret that? ;-)

- JanisIO 2y ago“Let’s see Paul Allen’s Card!”
- chefandy 2y agoI believe his was actually a small caps variant of Garamond.
- throwanem 2y agoThere's a letterpress shop in Washington with a lot to say, and apparently a product line, on this topic: https://hobancards.com/blogs/thoughts-and-curiosities/american-psycho-business-cards https://hobancards.com/blogs/thoughts-and-curiosities/americ...
- stavros 2y agoWell that was an interesting read. I never realized the cards were so middling, even having a typo on them.

- mcsniff 2y agoI have to have an account to put text on a background...and your privacy policy page currently throws http error 500. https://cardie-uwtwy.ondigitalocean.app/privacy https://cardie-uwtwy.ondigitalocean.app/privacy

- nfoert 2y agoThanks for pointing that out, I figured out why that's happening, it'll be fixed in the next release And it's currently in open alpha, it's not yet finished. I have a lot of plans on how to offer more customization options in future.
- cyanydeez 2y agoDo people stil do business cards?
- LikeAnElephant 2y agoYep, I do. It's a baseline expectation in my experience when working within less technical industries.
- throwadobe 2y agowithin any industry, really, even technical ones... "Tech" seems to be the exception.
- bicx 2y agoHonestly, if you’re in a job where you meet potential connections in person, it’s a lot easier to give someone a card with your info rather than to tell them how to find you on the internet and hope they remember.
- onionisafruit 2y agoI was at gophercon last month, and I vowed to get calling cards before next year. Getting out your phone and typing contact info is awkward by itself. Add in my hearing loss and it gets even worse.
- iancmceachern 2y agoYes, in some circles it's weird to use them, but in my experience those circles are the weird thing. Those circles are usually software folks and startup folks in places like the SF bay area, etc. In those situations everyone trades linkedin profiles or adds eachother to contacts as we are standing meeting eachother. That leads to very weird social interactions which are the norm in these circles but are definitely not normal social behavior in the broader world. In the broader world, everyone has a card. It would be weird if you were giving a police report and the deputy told you his linkedin profile address, or whatever. Same for your plumber, business card make sense and a aren't going away.
- zx8080 2y agoDesigning business cards has nothing to do with sharing them. Someone there wants some free data? (With privacy policy page showing error 500 for the demo)

- nfoert 2y agoMy initial thoughts for this project is it's intended to be a place for you to create a digital business card as a place to put links and other information, it's more like a Linktree than an actual business card, although I do want the user to be able to print out their cards to be used physically eventually.
- Nijikokun 2y agoWhy do I need an account to make a card? Shouldn't that only be required if I want to share / save the card?
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- nfoert 2y agoRight now it's a bit simpler to have the user create their account first, as it's mostly intended for them to immediately be saving it into their account so they can have it ready to be shared with others, or to print out once that feature gets added. In future having an option for the user to test it out first would be a good idea though
- serial_dev 2y agoYeah, I don't see the point of forcing users to create an account just to try out the app. I wouldn't be surprised if you had an extremely large percent of garbage input in your database. Thankfully, you didn't actually verify the email address, but if you did, that's probably the point where I would have gave up.
- nfoert 2y agoYeah, that’s a good suggestion thank you, I will be implementing a way for people to test it out and then create the account only if they want to save/share the card. And yes I can confirm, there is quite the amount of garbage data. Thank you for the feedback!
- aperezalbela 2y agoPassing username and password as HTTP Headers doesn't seem like a good idea
- nfoert 2y agoYeah you're right, that's definitely not the the most secure. Do you know of a more secure alternative I could try instead?
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- aperezalbela 2y agoI'd suggest using forms.Form for a LoginForm containing e.g. username = forms.CharField(max_length=150) password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput) and then a view to instantiate form with request.POST (if request.POST) like: form = LoginForm(request.POST) and then if form.is_valid() you can clean data using username = form.cleaned_data['username'] and the same for password. Then: user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password) and then check if user is not None then login(request, user) Note that login and authenticate come from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login Hope that helps.
- singpolyma3 2y ago...how is that more secure?
- nfoert 2y agoThank you, Django Forms do look promising. I’ll definitely look into more secure alternatives to the current implementation.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- throwaway837r2 2y agoI'm curious about what makes it a bad idea. What is the difference between sending it as a header compared to sending it as form data? If someone has access to headers, they probably also have access to the body.

- djstein 2y agolove to see this running as a django app!
- EGreg 2y agowhy specifically django?
- bryanrasmussen 2y agoI can't help but feel there should be some sort of endorsement of this by Paul Allen, and maybe a few other famous owners of business cards.
- epcoa 2y agoI think you mean this guy https://youtu.be/4YBxeDN4tbk?si=lc31U_SHzLGk7Qy6 https://youtu.be/4YBxeDN4tbk?si=lc31U_SHzLGk7Qy6
- CRConrad 2y agoFrom that video: "This card doesn't fit in a Rolodex, because it doesn't belong in a Rolodex!" Yeah, and it doesn't fit in a wallet either... So it's going to get thrown away as soon as he's turned his back. Four dollars down the drain every time. Here's hoping that was intended as satire?
- bryanrasmussen 2y agoI actually meant these guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgeEAGVmok4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgeEAGVmok4 but sure, he's also a good spokesperson!

- layer8 2y agoI would have named the project “cardigen”. ;)
- bityard 2y agoThe one time I needed to design a business card, I just used Inkscape and sent it off to a printing company. The physical card turned out better than expected. Unfortunately the business is no longer around, so presumably I am better at making business cards than running a business.
- singpolyma3 2y ago> Unfortunately the business is no longer around, so presumably I am better at making business cards than running a business. Classic

- atum47 2y agoThis reminds me of a certificate editor I did for a star up back when I was a intern during my college years. The whole thing was to have custom certificates for several types of events, workshops and courses digitally signed. I was responsible for developing the editor. I end up creating a "word art" online. You could add text, titles, images, backgrounds, some effects... You could export a PDF, image... All in vanilla JavaScript running on the browser. It was so much fun. It's a shame I don't have the final product to show.
- nfoert 2y agoThat sounds like a very cool project! Things like that are always fun to create
