Pages ready

One page for a person, a family, or a small side business, without a website to build or keep alive. It comes with its own short address and its own code, ready to print.

What it does today

• Two shapes, one app: a card for a person, or a page of links for a family or a small side business. Most places sell those as two products. They are the same thing with a different number of rows in the list.
• Every page comes with its own short address and its own code, because the page and the code are the same record rather than two things kept in step. Print the code on a card, a magnet or a sign.
• What the page says can change forever afterwards. The address never does, so nothing you have already printed stops working.
• A contact card can be saved straight into somebody phone from the page, so a scan puts you in their contacts rather than just showing them your number.
• Photographs are uploaded once and reusable on any page on the account.
• Copy a page to make the next one: it keeps the surname, the colour, the picture and the way the code is drawn, and empties the person. A household without typing the same details five times.
• A page that has never been opened can be removed. One that has been opened can only be paused, because something already in somebody wallet should never quietly stop existing.
• The address is reserved permanently either way. It is never recycled, so a code you printed can never be handed to a stranger.

Why it is built this way

The page and its code are the same record rather than two things somebody has to keep in step. That is what makes the promise safe to make: what the page says can change forever, the address it lives at never does, and an address is never recycled once it has been handed out. A card in somebody wallet that quietly starts opening a stranger page is the failure worth designing against, and it only happens when two parts of a system disagree about which addresses are spoken for.
