Interesting! We were looking at doing a similar app at the last Startup Weekend Perth but dissolved after deciding that the market was too saturated.
@ranheimann - Given that there are other companies out there (eg Camcard) that already offer many of the same features (contact sharing, auto-updates, card scanning), what would you say is the competitive edge that Haystack has that will allow it to outplay the established competitors?
The UI is definitely impressive - top points to your UI/UX guy!
@rossdcurrie Good question, Ross.
Two key points of difference:
1. CamCard offers auto-updating only to people that have created a profile on their platform - Haystack's learning algorithm auto-updates every single card on the system!
2. You can create a beautifully branded Haystack card in 30 seconds - enter your work email, and Haystack will do the rest. No app does that (we have a patent pending on that one)
Haystack is like a next generation app compared to the likes of CamCard. Try and use them both, and the differences will be clear :)
Thanks for the support, Ross.
nice experience. i had some bad experience with email recognition though. i am personnally still a huge fan of Evernote card scanning. their OCR is top notch and integration with linkedin just rocks
