The new stack is a Swift-based static site generator (SiteKit), giving us:

  • Trilingual content from day one - English, German, and Japanese, with hreflang on every page and automatic locale redirects.

  • 5 dedicated feature pages at /features/ covering NFC, QR & barcode, document scanning, 3D & room scanning, webhooks. Each with capability cards, real product screenshots, FAQs, and (where it makes sense) iOS-vs-Android comparison tables.

  • Blog with 5 migrated posts and an open lane for the rest.

  • New pages: About, Developers, Reviews, and this Changelog.

  • Unified design system: consistent card vocabulary, brand-blue hero gradient on marketing pages, soft-grey body, dark-mode parity.

  • Cookie-free newsletter via a self-hosted form that proxies to Mailjet - no tracking, no consent banner needed.

  • Open feeds for tools and AI: /feed.xml, /blog/feed.xml, /changelog/feed.xml, /sitemap.xml, /llms.txt, /assets/nav-index.json, /assets/search-index.json.

All future updates can ship by editing YAML and Markdown.

]]> NFC.cool Tools 6.11.0 - OpenPrintTag support https://new.nfc.cool/changelog/tools-openprinttag/ https://new.nfc.cool/changelog/tools-openprinttag/ Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Nicolo Stanciu NFC.cool Tools 6.11.0 ships native support for the OpenPrintTag standard - the cross-vendor NFC data format for 3D-printing spools.

What’s new:

  • Scan any OpenPrintTag spool and read material, length, brand, batch info in a consistent format.

  • Write OpenPrintTag fields to blank NTAG tags - material type, brand, length, custom notes.

  • Update spool status as you print, without needing brand-specific apps.

  • Expert Mode lets you inspect raw NDEF records for debugging or advanced workflows.

OpenPrintTag is an open initiative by Prusa Research aiming to unify smart-spool data across the 3D-printing ecosystem. Adding native support means NFC.cool is now a practical tool for makers managing filament across multiple brands.

Available now on iOS and the latest Android release. Free.

]]> NFC.cool Business Card - App Clip experience polished https://new.nfc.cool/changelog/business-card-appclip/ https://new.nfc.cool/changelog/business-card-appclip/ Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Nicolo Stanciu The App Clip experience for NFC.cool Business Card got a substantial polish pass:

  • Frictionless save. Recipients see your card in a native iOS sheet and can save to Contacts in a single tap.

  • Tighter NFC handshake. The AppClip payload is verified and the card content prefetched before the sheet shows.

  • Apple Wallet route. Visitors can drop your card into Apple Wallet for instant access later.

  • Visitor privacy preserved. Save events are recorded as anonymous counts only - no visitor identity is captured.

Background context on the architecture (App Clip + SwiftUI + secure backend APIs) was the subject of a mDevCamp 2025 talk in Prague.
