what do you think? If this site helped you find exactly the repo where you could jump in and contribute would that like solve the itch you are trying to scratch?
ask yourself the tough question: why am I trying to make a brand new repo and get people to look at that vs. contributing to an existing repo that already has momentum?
decentralized is a funny thing. people often say they want decentralized and say that’ll be great! No one person/company in charge. But is that what people want? Usually they want some kind of benevolent dictator instead.
But surely there is some "QR City" app that could help make these talks with new people, easier, more frequent, socially normalized, and gamified! I'm kind of shocked still in 2022 when trying to get someone's contact info we do that dance of speaking digits, typing them in and txt'ing or calling to transfer our number vs. a QR scan.
"Picture a world where strangers are not as scary. People are not as isolated and alone. Instead of asking for someone's phone number, you just hold open your IRL Present app. It has a distinctive branding border around the QR so people know what it is when someone puts their phone out with that showing. Even shy people can just open their app and show a QR without saying a word."
