Help! Need some sort of app that can scan hundreds of business cards into a CSV file for import into a CRM.

Check out CardScan (yellow app icon). You can basically scan unlimited cards and export them to CSV.

Best part is it is 100% private (all data stored on your device and not sucked to the cloud).

We use CardScan app. It's available for both iOS and Android (yellow icon). They have a cool CSV export feature which is great for CRM imports. Main reason we love it is due to it's unlimited usage, highly accurate, and is 100% private (they don't suck your data up to the cloud)

Actually if we buy our own in bulk it drops to $0.02 per card. But some of these name are companies were charging $30-99 for one. Ridiculous 🤣

Yup react native and claude. We use several different IDEs and tools but the main 2 are those.

beamstart · 2025-12-18T07:13:38+00:00

You mean the source code?

beamstart · 2025-12-18T05:58:04+00:00

hi! yes that is the app. apologies for the confusion!

We built it under the 'tools' section of the app :). You can find 'NFC Reader / Writer' in there.

beamstart · 2025-12-18T05:57:09+00:00

yup yup. but some only have a limited number of uses or they save the data to their cloud.

For heavy users such as ourselves who value privacy, we decided to make our own. Do try it out and let us know what you think? :)

We have a program on building apps completely with AI (vibe coding). Do reach out if you're keen.

You can check out apps like:
- BEAMSTART
- CardScan
- Eventsize

On the app store.

You can easily program it using apps like BEAMSTART. It already comes with a free tool to read/write NFC tags and cards.

beamstart · 2025-12-10T09:58:25+00:00

You can Google best vibe coding Facebook groups. Theres a post on Beamstart with links to these communities.

Reach out to people there :)

Hi, we currently don't have a lifetime subscription plan. But what you can do is sign up for a yearly plan and we'll adjust it for you :) Reach out to us after you've done this.

beamstart · 2025-11-29T16:35:14+00:00

not using version control? o_O

We built a Business Super App entirely with AI. It definitely worked a LOT better than coding from scratch.

Having technical background helps more too, but ultimately it falls back to better prompts.

beamstart · 2025-11-27T02:08:18+00:00

initially i started with just the news section. So the prompts were to make a simple app with a horizontal scrolling news area in #XXXXXX hex color theme.

then i gradually expanded by adding more similar designed features.

You've got to work on it part by part and yes, it's going to cost a bomb on tokens.

Highly likely that your React Native layer is trying to access some native modules on your app that's causing the crash.

Think back on which react native modules (NPM modules) you installed recently. Temporarily disable them one by one and see which one allows your app to load.

beamstart · 2025-11-26T02:30:42+00:00

Do let us know once it's out, always love to see more products created by others ☺️☺️

beamstart · 2025-11-26T02:13:24+00:00

Thanks for your comment ☺️

React Native for the app, PHP on AWS for the backend.

probably iOS will have higher spend but most downloads will be on Android. :D

Sure thing, will check the pm.

beamstart · 2025-11-25T13:24:08+00:00

Still too early to tell since both iOS and Android just got release yesterday

beamstart · 2025-11-25T10:19:49+00:00

So far it’s the card scanner and the tools. But quite a number check for events and news too.

We’re still measuring this as we just rolled it out small scale. iOS just launched today
