Since it's tedious to type people's numbers and other contact information, allow users to share their contact information via displaying a QR code. This is much faster than sharing via bluetooth and QR codes are more widely recognized by non-techies.

I wrote this transfer engine plugin for QR code sharing: https://openrepos.net/content/acce/qr-code-share-plugin Hopefully it will be useful to someone else too.
@eson thanks a lot! There are some problems loading the translations (it's not very well documented and the way example does it is not working properly), but I'm sure it's just a question of time :)
@vattuvarg Do you mean that the code would be rotated, so that you don't have to rotate your phone when showing it to someone? good idea!

Not only for own contact. It would be nice to have it for all contacts in address book. But I think this must not be native implemented. It can be done as app.
SaimenSays ( 2014-03-13 20:17:19 +0200 )editn900 has a contacts plugin that generates dynamically the contact QR code, which could be shown on screen or save it as an image. it would be nice to have a similar funtionallity for jolla

From one of my comments there:
vattuvarg ( 2014-03-13 22:17:11 +0200 )editEven more needed as long as NFS is borked for normal usage. :)
MartinK ( 2014-03-13 23:34:25 +0200 )editBrilliant idea. Definitely useful when possible for any contact.
