Most digital business card tools were built for the US market, where the share flow is "send an email or a text." In Asia, your card usually travels through WeChat or WhatsApp — and that changes everything.
The WeChat problem
WeChat has a famously locked-down browser. Images from external hosts often fail to load, and links to certain domains show a warning page that kills the experience. If your card's background photo or avatar doesn't render, it looks broken — and that first impression is the whole point.
How Cubby handles it
- Images are proxied through our own domain so backgrounds, avatars, and GIFs load reliably inside WeChat's browser.
- The card is a plain web page — nothing to install, no app to download. It opens wherever your contact is standing.
- QR codes work offline. Print the QR on your paper card, desk, or phone case; anyone who scans it lands on your live card.
The practical flow
- You meet someone at an event.
- You send your card link — or they scan your QR.
- They tap "Save contact" and your details are in their phone.
- Your card updates instantly when you change it. No reprinting, no reordering.
That last point is the quiet killer: a paper card is a snapshot of you from the day you printed it. A digital card is you now.
