Digital business cards and tap-to-share wearables have been around for a while, but nearly every wristband on the market is made of molded black silicone.

I wanted to create an accessory that blends in seamlessly with everyday fashion. I paired natural, organic textures with a discreet NFC chip inside, so it wears like a classic artisan piece rather than a piece of tech hardware.

But the hardware is only half of it. The real experience is what happens the moment someone taps it:

• Any modern phone gets a gentle tap notification.
• It opens a fast, clean web profile in their browser.
• There’s no app to download and nothing to install. The person you’re meeting can tap "Save Contact" and your number, email, and social links are saved directly into their contacts in two seconds.

Curious to hear what people think—do you prefer tech that looks like tech, or tech that is completely hidden inside everyday fashion?

Our partner found a use for the NFC tag in our VidaBay e-ink snap: first upload the static image to the Snap via NFC, then program the video URL into it, so that tapping the NFC tag behind the screen makes the static image come to life on the phone.

Please be kind, I am not especially tech savvy.

iPhone 13 (I think) user. Had my iPhone with me, not near anything. I got an NFC link tag prompt. I distractedly clicked on it as I was waiting on a text reply from a friend. It took me to the Google sign in page. I did not sign in and a closed the site link. I am otherwise signed in to my own Google account. Nothing appears to be newly downloaded. Am I at risk? Is there anything else for me to do? Thank you in advance.

Does anyone know how to use a library card as a normal NFC tag I can formate it but not write to it
