Should phones have something that shows your profile to people in the proximity? (lemmy.ml)

The whole idea is a privacy minefield, so it would have to be very carefully designed and implemented, of course making it opt-in. But still, should we even pursue this idea?

So that, for example, even if I met someone just briefly, they can still later see the contact information that I am willing to provide.

Wouldn't that make it much easier to connect with people who live close to you?

Are there any relevant projects or ideas that already exist?

Isn't that what the dating app hinge does?

It shows you the profile of people you passed by throughout the day I think.

I mean if you want to I don't see the problem with it. Might be interesting, as long as you can choose when and where your profile might be shown and what information is on your profile.

Definitely don't think it should be some mandatory thing though.
