I cleaned up this thread about decentralized contact book in a blog post here:

I'm very open to receiving feedback. What is preventing this from existing? This is a old problem; why don't we have a solution yet?

Do you know any existing services that do something like that? Am I trying to re-invent something that already exists?

This system should be an open standard, so that all existing contact book apps could implement it. Kinda like an updated version of CardDAV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CardDAV).

And ideally, all of that would be end-to-end encrypted, so that only your friends get to see your personal data. The host where you store your profile and your friends hosts should not be able to read your contact info!

Here's how I would imagine a decentralize and federated contact book:

When someone want to give their email or phone number, instead of giving it directly, they would give you their "contact book profile", which would be an web address that would be short and easy to remember. (ex: contactbook.org/narf)

So how do we get there? How do we make a system that is as practical as Facebook was back in the day, but not centralized in the hands of a private company?

And what would it look like in practice?
