       | Hey HN, EmergencyWalletCards.com is a website I built with the
       | help of my old friend @oedmarap to help bring Emergency Wallet
       | Cards to everyone by making it super easy for anyone to quickly
       | fill, print and fold a card for their wallet, purse, or anywhere
       | you can slip a credit-card into. Check out the intro blog post,
       | try the app out, and let me know what you think!

         | This is really cool. I've worked in the Emergency Management
         | space for a decade, and this is a clear win - great idea well
         | executed, so kudos. Even if people never look at them, the
         | process of creating them and thinking through personal disaster
         | responses is hugely valuable (plans are nothing, planning is
         | everything). Well done.

         | It's scope creep for sure, but I'd love have a version of this
         | for international travel that populates local consulate/embassy
         | offices, visa numbers, airline, hotel numbers, and personal
         | emergency medical info in the local language. I had a coworker
         | that would make international travel wallet cards for folks
         | traveling abroad - it was pretty cool.

           | International travel strikes me as the sort of thing where
           | you'd want a paid enterprise subscription instead of an
           | offline JS app, since you'd want numbers kept up-to-date.
           | (Just look at all the airlines integrating entry/exit
           | test/quarantine requirement iframes.)
           | 
           | $dayjob gives us a mobile app from International SOS,
           | although certainly I think there's room to make the app
           | prettier / faster / more tolerant of spotty internet.
