Me & share links

Everything else in Dhaga is about other people. /app/me is the one page about you — your own details, your company's, and the letters and emails you write again and again. It is also what makes the other half of this page work: a template needs a signature, and a link you send needs a sender.

You will find Me in the More menu on desktop, or the You sheet on your phone. It is not in the main navigation on purpose — you fill it in once.

Your profile and your company

The first two tabs are a form each, and nothing on either is required.

Profile is you: name, headline, email, phone, location, website, LinkedIn, and a few lines of bio you would use to introduce yourself.

Company is where you work: name, website, tagline, address and a paragraph about what it does — the things a letterhead carries.

Saving is the whole interaction. Clearing a field and saving deletes it, so if you empty your phone number it stays empty; it will not quietly come back. Every tab is its own URL, so you can bookmark or link Company directly and the back button walks back through the tabs you visited.

Templates: write it once, fill it in every time

The Templates tab is a library of two kinds of thing:

• Documents — a one-pager, a letter, an intro brief. Just a title and a body.
• Email drafts — the same, plus a subject line.

Both are written with variables: little placeholders in double braces that Dhaga swaps for real values. Write

Dear {{contact.firstName}},

Thanks for your time today. I have attached the summary we discussed.

{{me.name}}
{{me.headline}}
{{company.name}} · {{company.website}}

and you have a letter you can reuse for anyone, that always signs itself with whatever is currently on your Profile tab.

The variables you can use

You do not have to type them. The variable picker under the editor inserts one at your cursor, so you can drop {{contact.firstName}} into the middle of a sentence without losing your place. Spaces inside the braces are fine — {{ me.name }} and {{me.name}} are the same thing.

The preview, and what it stands in for

As you type, a preview shows the finished text rather than the raw braces — that is the point of the editor, because a template is only ever read expanded.

Your own details appear for real, so you can proof-read your signature. Anything you have not filled in yet, and everyone in the {{contact.*}} row above, is shown with an obviously made-up sample instead. That keeps the preview readable instead of collapsing into blanks, and it means no real person from your graph is put on screen when you were only writing a template.

Two more things worth knowing:

• A misspelt variable stays visible. Type {{me.nmae}} and it shows up in the preview exactly like that, still in its braces — so you notice. Dhaga will not quietly delete a line from a letter you are about to send.
• A variable you have not filled in comes out empty. If your Profile has no phone number, {{me.phone}} renders as nothing rather than leaving braces in the finished text.

Templates are stored with their variables unexpanded, so changing your name or your company website updates every template that mentions it. There are no stale copies to go and fix.

Share links: sending one record to someone else

Sometimes the person you want to tell about a contact does not use Dhaga. A share link is a plain web page for one contact or one company that anyone with the URL can open — no account, no sign-in — and that stops working on a date you choose.

Making one

Open a contact or a company and press Share.

1. Choose how long it lasts. 24 hours, 7 days (the default), 30 days or 90 days. There is no "forever" option, and that is deliberate — see below.
2. Choose what it shows. Everything optional starts switched off. A contact link can add Contact details (emails, phone numbers, links and location); a company link can add People (who you know there). Either can add Notes, Facts (what Dhaga has worked out about them) and Follow-ups (what you still owe them).
3. Give it a label if you like — "for the Tuesday intro". The label is for you only. It is listed in this dialog and appears nowhere on the page your recipient opens.
4. Press Create link, then the copy button beside it to put the URL on your clipboard.

You can make several links for the same person — a short one showing very little, a longer one for someone who needs the phone number — and each keeps its own settings and its own expiry.

Managing and revoking

The same dialog lists every link you have made for that record, newest first, with how long each has left and how many times it has been opened. Press the bin icon to revoke one: it stops working immediately, for everyone who has it, with nothing to wait for.

Revoked and expired links stay in the list rather than disappearing, so you can always see what you shared and when. Deleting the contact or company itself also kills every link pointing at it.

What your recipient sees — and doesn't

By default, a shared contact page shows their name, nickname, job title, company and job history, and nothing else. A shared company page shows its name, domain, sector and other names it goes by.

Everything else is either behind one of the switches you chose, or is never shared at all:

The "Never" column is the important one. Most of what Dhaga holds about a person is your working material — what you concluded, when you plan to get back to them, how you filed them — and none of it belongs on a page you hand to a third party. Photos of a scanned card are not reachable from a share link either.

Even the parts you do switch on are trimmed. A shared note is its text and the date you wrote it, with no trace of where it came from. A shared email address or phone number keeps its label — Work, Mobile — but drops any private note you attached to it, and a job in someone's history arrives without your own remarks about it. A shared fact is the sentence and whether Dhaga is still unsure of it, never the note it came from. A shared follow-up is what is still to be done and when it is due — never how often you have set yourself to check in, which says more about you than about them, and never the ones you have already closed.

Notes also means notes you wrote. Not everything filed under a person is something you typed: the text lifted off a scanned business card, anything Dhaga found while researching them, and automatic activity notes all live in the same place. None of those travel with a share link, however you set the toggle — the research ones in particular are Dhaga's guesses, marked unverified when you read them yourself, and a shared page has no way to say so. Long histories are also capped — notes, facts and follow-ups each stop at a recent slice, so a link shows what is current rather than years of everything.

Saving the person you shared

A shared contact page has a Save contact button. It hands the recipient a .vcf card, which on a phone opens the "add contact" sheet straight away — so an introduction ends with the person actually in their address book, not in a browser tab they meant to come back to. It carries exactly what the page does: if you did not switch contact details on, the saved card is a name, a title and a company, with no email or number in it.

When you have switched contact details on, Call, Email and WhatsApp appear next to it, wired to the first number or address on the page. They are ordinary links — nothing about the person is sent anywhere when a recipient uses one, and the page counts a visit once whether or not they download the card. A shared company page has no card to save; a company is not a contact.

What is recorded when someone opens it

A count, and the time of the most recent visit. That is all — no name, no location, no device, nothing that identifies whoever opened it. A link you sent should not turn into a tracker aimed at the person you sent it to.

The link itself is treated as a secret, too. Dhaga's own page analytics never receive the token part of the URL: it is replaced before anything is sent, the same way a contact's id is replaced everywhere else in the app. Search engines are asked not to index the page, and the page never announces who is on it.
