She gave a talk at TechCrunch last year and kindly spoke to me briefly afterwards about how end-to-end encryption can help businesses. The problem is that without a huge benefactor…

I created an app to do end-to-end encrypted contact info sharing and updating with your second point in mind. By holding only encrypted data that can't be accessed by us, people wi…

This helps with the initial exchange of contact information, but keeping it updated for the people that have it is a real challenge, especially if you want to avoid using social me…

Keeping contact info updated is a real challenge. I’ve been using neucards as it helps me know who has my info and I can switch which card someone has anytime. Here is my social ca…

If you have an audience in mind, try meeting them in person to demo your solution. I've found people are most receptive when they see your passion and resolve.

"By offering end-to-end encryption they can give power back to the users and simultaneously simplify their regulatory burden." This is exactly why I use e2ee in my app. I sleep bet…

California is attempting to pass the DELETE act which provides new rights to control your personal information with respect to data brokers. ( https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/08…

Actually, I have an option in Neucards' settings that adds a Contacts tab which lets you access your phone's contacts directly within Neucards. I agree people should not need to go…

It does work without the app. You can display a QR code on your phone's screen to let people see and act on your contact info even if they don't have Neucards installed. In fact, I…

Yes. LinkedIn is, in my experience, the go to way of connecting at conferences. I should mention, though, that one feature I really like myself in Neucards is location tagging when…

Yes, for the NFC tags you will need an internet connection, but the Neucards app does maintain a local cache of the digital cards you have received. You can view the details of tho…

That looks very useful! I like your focus on privacy. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, I wrote about my experience creating the NFC tags at IndieHackers - https://www.indiehackers.com/post/shipped-my-first-order-tod...

Thank you! I'm glad you like the idea. For sharing with others who don't have the app, the link you send lets them see your card's contact information on the neucards' website whic…

You may be right. It isn't easy to convince people to try something new. As for your website contact info link, how do you tell people that have the link to revisit it when you've …

100% agree. I'm hoping to add Android and other markets in the not too distant future. As for unsharing, that's possible by removing a recipient and I have plans to help even more …

Also, I was recently on the Shifting Privacy Left podcast hosted by Debra Farber discussing Neucards and privacy in general. You can listen at https://shiftingprivacyleft.buzzsprou…

Sorry. I mean Apple adds steps to releasing an app outside the US if it uses encryption. I'm doing neucards as a solo effort and am hoping to see some traction before taking on tho…

For card links, I'm using a one time key to protect the information stored on my server. The end-to-end encryption works when you exchange cards using the Neucards app with another…

Unfortunately, it is restricted to the US App Store due to there being a higher compliance necessary for using encryption in Europe and other countries outside the US. Once I get s…

Thanks! Good catch! I could use all the help I can get :)

Thank you! Contacts sharing and updating has had a lot of takes over the years. I remember Plaxo and Bump, back in the day. I'm hoping adding a privacy focus will help people feel …

Neucards is an end-to-end encrypted contact information sharing and updating iOS app that protects your identity while letting you keep in touch with people. I started working on n…
