I’m curious to know more about what didn’t work!

Second comment I’ve read suggesting vCard, so I’ll put it on my todo list :). Lowest friction is what I’m going for here. Thanks!

Thanks, that means a lot! As for the business, it’s 100% automated. Otherwise, it wouldn’t work at scale with everything else I have going on. It’s also designed to simply be a fun thing for me and others to use, and isn’t really meant to b

I can’t agree more with the tip to never tell anyone your plans. That dopamine rush you get by discussing ideas with others quite literally is enough to never actually start anything.
