Tack Blog

Documenting the journey of building Tack, sharing insights on the event and productivity industry, and some other tidbits along the way.

I built it because I noticed at networking events, trade shows, & conventions, there was a constant problem when it came to QR codes & how people hand off digital content. There is no consistency in how QR codes are used, making attendees wary of using them at all. Sometimes they take you to a social media page, sometimes to a demo booking page, sometimes to a company site you know nothing about. You end up having to google search and poke around multiple sites to get the full picture of the person or company anyway.

And when it comes to presentation follow-ups & resource sharing, it’s a nightmare. The last slide is either a few random links, or maybe a phone/email. Sometimes you get 1-3 QR codes, but again, they’re wildly unpredictable. Many times, the presenter will mention a few other items like upcoming events, new social media pages to follow, partner announcements, etc. and there is no clear way to remember or follow-up on those items.

Businesses lose leads, event-goers & potential customers end up frustrated, and communication becomes fragmented.

Seeing all this, I thought…”What if you could put all your handouts, links, and contact info into a minimal landing page, with its own instant, unique short-link/QR code?” and I was like “Oh, Linktr.ee”…but then I realized how limited Linktr.ee truly is. You get one profile with a single link…but there’s no flexibility, there’s no way to have multiple pages going simultaneously, there’s no file sharing, and no real networking tools, only online promotion tools.

That’s how Tack was born…and I’ve been pounding out code for the past 3 months to put it together.

Our roadmap for the coming months includes a lot of exciting things! In-depth analytics, customization, CRM integrations, and more will be coming this year.
