Bento is gone.
Your page shouldn't die with it.

Bento's genius was making a personal page expressive — a bento box of you. But it was still one page for everyone: your boss, your date and your grandmother all saw the same grid.

Kard starts from the opposite idea. You fill in your real identity card once — tastes, dislikes, anecdotes, experiences — then generate a separate Kard per audience: one for a date, one for friends, one for work, one for family. Each has its own link, its own theme, and shows only what you chose for that person.

Expressiveness is still the point: 20 hand-crafted themes — from Sakura's floating petals to Terminal's CRT phosphor, Gazette's newspaper spread or Blueprint's millimetric grid — make each page feel designed, not templated.

The honest part: if your Bento was mostly embedded widgets — a Spotify player, a YouTube feed, a store — Kard won't replace that, and a link-in-bio tool will serve you better. If your Bento was you — what you love, what you've lived, what you want specific people to know — Kard is the upgrade.

Products like Bento don't die because users leave. They die because the company gets acquired, the team moves on, and the servers become a cost nobody wants. The pattern has a shape: venture funding, growth, exit, sunset email.

Kard has none of those ingredients. It's built by one independent developer, it runs on deliberately small infrastructure, and it's funded by the people who use it — a subscription, not an exit story. No investors means no pressure to sell, and nothing to sunset.

And if you ever want out anyway: your data lives on your iPhone and exports in one tap. Your shared pages are end-to-end encrypted — we couldn't read them even if we wanted to.

Also migrating from Read.cv? There's a page for that too.
