h-card as a service (https://h-card-as-a-service.herokuapp.com) was a prototype web service replacement for wiki profile pages and chat-names built by Shane Becker.
It was archived in May 2019 [1]. As of 2022-12-03, the Github repository appears to no longer be available: https://github.com/veganstraightedge/h-card-as-a-service
Features
- UI: a simple form with fields for commonly used properties (name, url, photo, etc) already used by several people on the wiki
- Lookup: h-card-as-a-service can be used as a single point of lookup for peopleβs h-card info.
- Templating: It also shows the h-card markup on a personβs profile page which could be copy/pasted onto oneβs website.

Feedback
- +1 on just "location". We don't have a lot of use for structured data (country/city) so better to leave it free-form. β Aaron Parecki

- blank link with u-email if no email address entered. Should only include an email link if the field is entered? gRegor Morrill
- Fixed β Shane Becker
Brainstorming
- Right now we use {{nickname}} on the wiki a lot, so it'd be great if the wiki could pull from this site to be able to provide similar functionality. This will look like some sort of small mediawiki plugin. β Aaron Parecki
