Your phone keeps their number. We keep why they mattered, so you are the one who follows through.
The cards are in a drawer. The numbers are in your phone. The only thing that mattered is gone.
A number lasts ten years. The reason lasts a fortnight.
They hand you a card, or a code to scan. Or you tell it who you just met, out loud, while they walk away.
In the taxi, you say why each of them was worth meeting. One sentence about the person, in your voice.
You have forgotten the name. Ask it what you do remember, and it gives you the person back.
Nothing to set up first. Nothing breaks if you never connect a thing.

You will write honest things about people you just met. Nobody else gets to read them.
Say why they matter while you still remember. Months later, you will know why. You become the one who follows through.
Tagalog for see you later. The thing you say when you mean it, then never follow through. We are letting people in a few at a time, starting with the ones who told us this was broken.
