Contacts haven't really changed since flip phones. The Network rebuilds them: each field shared on its own terms, live or a snapshot in time. Connecting and sharing are separate choices. Each person owns their profile. Birthdays, dietary needs, who's nearby, and proper business-card swaps included.

Built on Flutter + Firebase, with Vertex AI powering Dot — an in-app chatbot that collects user feedback conversationally and pipes the patterns straight into pull requests.

A few of the rebuilds:

  • Field-level sharing — share your phone with friends, your email with colleagues, your address with no one
  • Live or snapshot — each share either updates as you change it or freezes the moment you sent it
  • Connect ≠ share — accepting a connection request doesn't auto-share anything
  • Multi-source resolution — when the same field comes from multiple shares, you see the sources and pick what wins
  • Public profile at thenetwork.app/u/yourname — what's on it is entirely up to you
