The person on it is John Doe. Fake name. Fake phone. Fake email. On purpose. I needed something I could ship, poke at, and hand to people without leaking my actual number while I finish wiring my own card.

Hit Save contact. It should drop a vCard on your phone. That’s the whole point of this first cut.

What’s actually on the card

What you can see today:

• Phone

• Email

• Website

Behind the scenes, I can add more fields like socials, org, title, and other relevant details that someone would want to exchange.

The public page is the thin end of it: enough for someone to add you and leave.

I’m not claiming this is polished. I’m claiming it’s alive. That mattered more to me than waiting for a perfect version of “me.”

What I’m going to do with it

In a few weeks, I’m speaking to incoming students at Thunderbird School of Global Management. I want my own card ready by then—phone, email, website, Substack, whatever I decide belongs on that version of me for that room.

The bet is simple: In a presenter/speaker event, the audience only gets to ask a handful of questions to the panelists. After the event, people try to talk to the presenters with their personal questions, but the panelists just don’t have the time to get to every single person.

The typical event culture is: talk surface-level for a few minutes, then move to the next person.

But because of the pure nature of the event, people still have questions.

This gives people the opportunity to ask their questions outside of the event using their preferred method: text, email, or pinging on LinkedIn later. If the exchange has friction, a lot of that follow-up never happens. If it’s one tap and the contact is on their phone, maybe more of them actually reach out when they need guidance.

I’ll stress-test the same thing at local startup nights in Phoenix. Venture Café is next on my list. If you’re in the Valley and you know a better room for this kind of experiment—founders, operators, people who network hard—tell me. I’m open.

Same tactic either way: show up with a live link, see if the hand-off gets out of the way, and notice whether anyone actually saves the contact.

Try it. Tell me what’s wrong.

I’d rather hear from you than guess.

Open the John Doe page. Save the contact. Tell me what felt weird—the page, the download, the fields, the whole idea. Comments below work. Brutal is useful.

I’m building this so I can use it in rooms where I don’t get a second chance at the conversation. If it doesn’t help there, I’ll find out the hard way. Better if some of you find the sharp edges first.

Here is the link again ;)

Recap

I’m Luciano Huapaya. I’m building mee.contact in public—an app to automate the contact exchange so you can stay present when you meet people.

• Personas for what you share.

• Connections for who you meet.

• Events for where you met them.

Not on the App Store yet. This is the journal of getting there.
