when I'm doing research on a laptop I find myself wanting to copy and paste things into my physical notebook a lot. This is my approach to do that.
I have a bunch of NTAG216 stickers which hold a little under 900 bytes each, and are supposed to retain data for around 10 years. This is a little windows tray application that works as follows:
- copy something that you want to add to the sticker onto your clipboard
- right click the tray app -> "Save clipboard to NFC QR"
- the script checks if the data will fit on the sticker. if so, it will create a sequential ID for the data and store it as text inside of a local archive folder. it will also create a QR code so you can copy the data onto your phone easily.
- after copying the data onto your phone from the QR code, use NFC Tools or a similar app to write onto the sticker.
- I then write the archive ID onto the sticker face, so that if the RFID ever stops working I can check the archive for the given ID.
No more writing down long URLs or quotes for things!
