shminge Can someone explain the point of a h-card? (I hope this is the right place to ask)

capjamesg For example, I run a web reader. If someone tries to subscribe to a h-feed, I will look for the h-card and use it to find a profile picture and name for the person whose feed someone wants to follow.

#
shminge capjamesg[d]: Is it something I display openly on the site or can it be hidden in the HTML?
#
capjamesg h-cards are added as HTML classes to text you already have on the page.
#
capjamesg You can hide parts of the HTML visually if you want.
