Mastodon users don't want such a thing, they see things like it as potential vectors for abuse and harassment.

A small, but vocal segment of Mastodon users get very angry when someone creates any account discoverability service beyond what's built in to Mastodon. They do not speak for everyone.

And it's very centralized approach. IMHO typing in handles is a good approach for a decentralized platform. Also scanning QR codes on a conference instead of exchanging business cards. You don't need a seperate website for that. And noone wants to browse lemmyverse on a conference just to add someone (the issue they're obviously trying to solve with that.)
