NFC.cool Business Card Maker is a foundational element within the broader NFC.cool ecosystem - a platform that connects tangible and digital experiences through NFC, QR, barcode, document, and 3D scanning. During my first conference presentation, I detailed the technical development process behind building an App Clip-based experience that prioritises speed, personalisation, and tight iOS-ecosystem integration.
The talk was titled “Building a Great App Clip Experience: Lessons from NFC.cool Business Card”, delivered at mDevCamp 2025 in Prague. It walked attendees through the architectural decisions behind NFC.cool Business Card - how the App Clip is structured, where SwiftUI fits, and how the backend keeps shared-card data secure without forcing visitors to sign up.
The experience was invaluable: a first stage presentation, conversations with seasoned iOS developers, and a clear sense that the community is genuinely interested in meaningful NFC-enabled experiences. The architecture we settled on - App Clips, SwiftUI, and secure backend APIs - resonated with the audience and produced constructive feedback we’re already folding back into the product.
