<entry-title>hCard Input Interface and hCard sign-up UI</entry-title>
One of several projects at microformatsDevCamp.
summary
The goal here is to create a radically minimal signup process, utilizing hCards. Interface will use hCard information retrieved form a user’s “web-address” to populate fields needed for signup.
hCard Input Interface
- Build a nice clean UI for filling in an hCard's info
hCard sign-up UI
- How can we make it even easier to sign-up on a website using hCards?
- How can subscribing to hCards help users' profiles stay more up to date (e.g. their profile photo/icon/avatar) ?
