Re: [web-nfc] Use cases for emulating passive NDEF tags (#142)

We just implemented NFC scanning for our Web Wallet here https://github.com/linuxserver/nano-wallet/ (thanks for all the work in the web-nfc project)

Given the major use case of people transferring funds phone to phone using insecure text data ( in this case just a string containing the destination address and amount) being able to broadcast a tag from the same interface as well as scan them is extremely useful if planning to completely replace QR codes with NFC for the transaction workflow. 
This allows people to simply bump phones instead of scanning a QR presented on one phone with their camera. 

If you are not familiar with the process or other payment platforms like WeChat pay you can see a basic demo here:
