The whole idea is a privacy minefield, so it would have to be very carefully designed and implemented, of course making it opt-in. But still, should we even pursue this idea?

So that, for example, even if I met someone just briefly, they can still later see the contact information that I am willing to provide.

Wouldn’t that make it much easier to connect with people who live close to you?

Are there any relevant projects or ideas that already exist?

    I kinda can’t see many women wanting to share any contact information with the random creepy stranger sitting opposite them on the train.

        Oh, definitely. It’s just that in my experience, women are more likely to be immediately wary of this possible danger. Or maybe I’m biased because I’m a woman. But men definitely can (and should) be wary as well.
