Calling these "Smart Cards" is misleading, as that is a very well-established term for something else (cards containing an embedded IC used for authorization) [1].

The role of "one link" to a page with links to accounts/profiles on other sites seems well-served by existing sites including LinkTree [2] and KeyBase [3].

Potential customers could already put a LinkTree URL + QR code on a business card; the website doesn't do a great job of explaining why NameKard is better (and I have less trust in its website remaining available).

I have no idea what a smart card is. A description would be nice.

Does it have NFC? What kind of data can it hold?

Is the fee for just a single card, or do we get a batch?
