shameless plug to get some HN quality feedback on this related idea: https://mastodon.online/@wilrnh/108466609841665605

Yes, EWC needs lots of internationalization love. Please please please open lots of issues and PRs!

Very nice idea to both save real estate and obfuscate URLs - I might steal it :)

Thank you :)

And this is a great idea (please consider adding an issue on GH); I think many will benefit from EWC using them in unfamiliar conditions such as traveling. I wonder what would be a good way to remind users to print an updated EWC before traveling.

Excellent idea thank you. I added this to https://github.com/wilrnh/emergencywalletcards.com/issues/1. Even if something like this cannot be included directly on the EWC, maybe a bunch of QR codes linking to stuff like this might be useful on the back.

Agreed: this first release was focused on mirroring the original FEMA PDF. I would love to see the card evolve to be much more internationalized.

In fact, one of the reasons I chose to build an app around the PDF, instead of simply using PDF form fields, was to open up the possibility of rich customization. Maybe something like detecting locality preferences of the browser to customize the EWC form might be interesting.

(Also these are great suggestions, please feel free to open GH issues for them!)

Thank you for finding and sharing these links. [1] seems to be an updated version of the PDF. The original inspiration for EWC seems to be gone from ready.gov, but there's a picture of it in my post. If anyone comes across the person/s who designed it, please give them my sincere regards, its genius.

Hey HN, EmergencyWalletCards.com is a website I built with the help of my old friend @oedmarap to help bring Emergency Wallet Cards to everyone by making it super easy for anyone to quickly fill, print and fold a card for their wallet, purse, or anywhere you can slip a credit-card into. Check out the intro blog post, try the app out, and let me know what you think!

What if the only way to see it is to believe it?

I've been on the beta for a while, and I love the potential behind this idea. But the thing that's most interesting for me to see is if/how the conversations about transparency will evolve now that something you walk around with everyday is putting it physically in your face, and quite bluntly imo.
