AI Analysis

MidBold Bet

Protocol for a problem nobody has - contacts already sync everywhere.

Strengths
  • JSON-LD schema with DNS TXT fallback provides multiple resolution paths
  • Flexible profile object allows custom fields beyond standard contact data
  • Open source implementation with Node.js client code examples included
Weaknesses
  • Solves a non-problem - contact apps and email clients already handle this
  • No adoption path or compelling reason to switch from existing solutions

Post Description

I built a simple way to link a website or domain to a phone number, email, webfinger, and profile information. The main method is a JSON-LD document at /.well-known/telweb. For phone numbers only, there is a fallback using a TXT record on the _telweb subdomain. The profile field is intentionally flexible. It is simply defined as an object where you can put any information you want. You can try it in the Dialer section.
