sortaThrowawayon Rolling Stone, Once a Counterculture Bible, Will Be Put Up for Sale

sortaThrowawayon Ask HN: App screenshot on business card?

Well your name fits you well...

Yes it would be better just to tell people about the app. But for next few weeks I will be at events that the best shot I will be able to do is pass them out to people as they walk by.

sortaThrowawayon Ask HN: App screenshot on business card?

Thanks for your impute. Looking at the iPhone 5s screen, it is just a tad bigger than a standard biz card. I was thinking of showing about half of a screenshot expanded just a little.

I agree that graphic would be better. I just wanted something I could pass out for next two weeks while I workout a better way to present the app on the card. It would be better to personally talk to everyone but for some events that would not be possible.
