Hey @LumaHQ! You app is absolutely fantastic. In only three weeks, I've been to five top-notch events meeting new, totally cool people.

But now that you've solved meeting new people for (thank you), I have a NEW problem:

As the events start to wrap up, we often want to stay in touch. Cool! Yay!

Now, to "connect-connect", the norm is to use LinkedIn. So, now I've to go back to (shudder) LinkedIn as well. You know, that place. And it's super-duper awkward: their app has a QR-code contact scan thing that gets more embarrassing every passing second while you're both fiddling with your phone ("...oh, doesn't work, there's a glare on your screen. Oh, it's my camera?...")

After yesterday's event (awesome btw.), I seriously consider printing contact cards. But then, what do I put on there? My phone? My email? My Twitter? And then?

What actually HAS worked a few times: I meet them, memorize their first name, then go to Luma, check the participant list (when it's visible) for their first name, when there are multiple "Davids", deduce based on first impressions which one and then try to find them online. Somehow.

So, team Luma, as a huge fan: I would like to ask you to let me find and connect and stay in touch with these new peers via your app. Thank you so much :)
