I started VibeCard with a fairly simple idea: a digital business card should make meeting someone easier than handing over a piece of paper.
The first version of that idea is easy to describe. Put a profile behind a link or NFC tag. Let someone scan it. Give them the contact details. Ship it.
The build got more interesting when I asked what happens after the scan.
A card is only useful if the relationship continues. So VibeCard became less about replacing a paper card and more about closing the gap between a first meeting and a useful follow-up. A scan can capture a lead, trigger a reminder, and give the owner a place to understand what is happening instead of leaving a stack of business cards in a drawer.
That shift changed the product decisions.
I had to think about templates because people want something they can publish quickly, but also enough flexibility to make the card feel like theirs. I had to think about team handover because a lead should not disappear when the person who met them is unavailable. I had to think about analytics and CSV export because “someone scanned it” is not the same as knowing what to do next.
The integrations are another example. It is tempting to treat a long integrations list as a feature by itself. I care more about the small moment behind each integration: a new contact should land somewhere useful, without someone copying details between five tools. VibeCard currently connects with 25+ services, but the point is not the number. The point is reducing the friction after the introduction.
The hardest lesson has been resisting the urge to make every feature sound like a breakthrough. A digital card is not magic. It will not turn every scan into a customer. It can make the handoff cleaner, make follow-up more consistent, and make the owner less dependent on memory.
That is also why the pricing is deliberately understandable: a free Solo plan that stays free, and an early-bird Business plan at $15 before it rises to $39. The product is made in Romania, and GDPR is part of the baseline rather than a footnote added later.
Building in public is useful here because the constraints are visible. There is no giant sales team hiding the awkward edges. When a workflow is confusing, I see it. When a feature sounds better in a sentence than it feels in use, that becomes obvious too.
VibeCard is still a work in progress, but the direction is clear: make the first exchange easy, then make the follow-up less fragile.
