Hey HN, I loved the experience of card scan products, but found they don't work well with more recent card designs. We're re-implementing the OCR algorithms from the ground up to work on a much broader range of card types, and also doing some checks to make sure the cards are real (which will help a lot with fraud).

Would love to answer any questions and hear thoughts!

do you have anything to show? right now it looks like an advertisement - would love to see an sdk, or link to the source, or something more than an email capture page.

Gotcha.

Unfortunately what we have isn't really sharable yet, but we're planning to update as soon as it is - but I get this isn't that helpful when you want to play around with it. We figured out the hard part (OCR algo is pulling the card info) and were hoping to get some feedback on the direction / interest level / use case before completing all the rest of it which will take us several more weeks. We'll journey on.
