How "ready for prime time" is NotifyMe

[r-r-liu]

I understand that NotifyMe can be downloaded from the iOS App Store and Google Play, and clicking GENERATE QR CODES on https://notify-me.ch/en/ seems to the operator of venues who would like his customers to use NotifyMe to generate the QR codes that they would scan. Once he has those codes, can he just instruct his customers to download, install and use NotifyMe? Is there already a live backend with which apps installed on mobile phones would synchronize? Are instructions for contact tracers available, how they would have venue operators upload codes to it, should someone who visited them test positive?

I have been informed that NotifyMe is in pilot at the EPFL since January 2021. I don't understand what is taking so long. The usual suspects are demanding that safety measures be eased "immediately" (if not sooner), despite the fact that the Bundesrat has stated that it doesn't expect any more relaxation before the end of May. Based on copious evidence, this means that we can expect the next ones in a week or two. And inevitably, it will mean that they will come at the price of collecting contact data. There is only one app that even remotely should be under consideration for that, and it's NotifyMe. Yes, contact tracers will be annoyed, even insulted, that the app, not they, contact the presence contacts, but it's hunting down and contacting these people that takes so much time, and it's time that should not be squandered on such a routine task that an app can do quicker, more thoroughly, in a word: better.
