I’m at a conference now working a booth (well, at least when I started writing this), and I really didn’t realize how much I enjoyed this part of the job. While I’ve attended a few conferences post COVID (err, well, "post" may be too strong of a word), this is the first booth I’ve worked at in years. One of the first things I did when I arrived was check and see how we were going to get contacts via badge scanning. Not surprisingly, the conference organizers suggested a native app. Me being me – I immediately thought of how the app’s features could be accomplished via the web. There’s nothing wrong with the native app (actually, it’s pretty buggy at times), but I dislike installing native apps for events. Nine times out of ten I forget to delete it off my phone even though I’ll never use it again. I’ve now built a web-based version of the application, and while it’s certainly ugly as hell, I thought I’d share how I did it.
