How Fast2Task uses NFC tags

Fast2Task uses NFC tags to store NDEF records which contain URLs to resources on Fast2Task. Most resource URLs are a format similar to the following:

```https://fast2task.com/app#/bd6a16a4-8d9f-4fa3-b4ed-f58ab05b0c14/resource/assets/fc17b273-e470-483b-b110-d77992c106a6/scan```

This example URL is 121characters in length. A NTAG213 chip can store 144 characters (or 136 with locking) which is a good fit for this use case and is the recommended chip for Fast2Task. For uses outside of this size limit of A NTAG216 chip can store 504 characters (or 492 with locking), although it is notable that a longer record will take longer to read and write, so it is recommended to use the smallest chip that will fit your use case.
