@morc Yeah, I wrote the Android app in like 2 hours after 2 days of having no sleep (+ some later changes) as a _temporary_ replacement for a broken reader and that's why I totally hate that solution.

@morc The 3D-printed thing wasn't my work. Was that the one having wrong size of the space for the phone, that was filed down to fit the phone?

@morc I had an idea to take some low-cost phone with NFC and place the NFC antenna next to the screen, with a custom 3D-printed case to have a prettier reader that's also easier to use/less confusing. It was then dismissed as it's hard to replace when the HW dies, since it's basically a custom hardware, just like the previous reader. (The polling rate would be still a mild problem, but it might be possible to (ab)use Android APIs somehow…)

@morc But I've seen several people that failed to notice that it's a phone. 🤣
