I built a digital business card that tells you who actually looked at it

Paper business cards die quietly. You hand one over at a meetup, it survives the evening in a pocket, and then it's gone — laundry, drawer, trash. Even when it survives, you never know if the other person actually did anything with it.

The digital tools that replaced them have the opposite problem. Link-in-bio pages are pretty, but they're blind: you share a link, someone glances at it, and you have no idea who they were, when they looked, or whether they cared.

So I built VibeCard — a digital business card with lead tracking built in.

The idea in one sentence

Every time someone opens your card, that shouldn't just be a "view". It should be a lead.

Here's the flow:

  1. Card shared — your card goes live via QR code, link, or NFC tap (works on any phone, no app needed)
  2. Lead captured — each scan auto-creates a tagged lead in your dashboard
  3. Follow up — you get a reminder before the prospect goes cold

That's it. The card is the bait; the dashboard is the point.

What's in it

  • 25+ platform integrations — social, messaging, payments, booking, all in one card
  • 12 templates with profile photo
  • Follow-up reminders so no lead rots
  • Team plan — assign leads and follow-ups to teammates
  • Analytics & CSV export — see which channels actually convert
  • GDPR-compliant, built in Romania 🇷🇴

I deliberately kept the solo plan free forever — one account, no credit card, no design fees. If you're a freelancer or consultant, you can go full workflow on $0. The Business plan (team features, advanced analytics) is $15 during the early launch and locks in forever — it goes to $39 after.

The honest build story

I vibe-code my apps on Base44 and ship them fast, then let real usage tell me what to fix. VibeCard started as exactly what everyone builds first: a pretty card with links. Then I looked at the data and saw the thing nobody was building: the card was getting opened, but the maker never found out who. That gap between "shared" and "followed up" is where deals die — so V2.0 is basically a mini-CRM wearing a business card costume.

What I'd love from you

I'm building this in public, so feedback beats applause:

  • Try the free card: vibecard.digital
  • Roast the landing page
  • Tell me what a lead-capture flow is missing for YOUR workflow

I also make RIDE OR DIE (a car-matching quiz) and AnafTracker (Romanian tax deadline tracking) — you can see everything at appbioniclabs.xyz.

If you want to see how it works, scan any QR on the site with your phone — you'll get the exact experience your prospects get.
