I had a quick look at a few Bluetooth card readers(/writers), but the manuals only had examples of reading NFC, so I’m not sure that even with external hardware that it is currently possible to write NFC tags … thought that sounds kind of odd.
For a desktop OS,such as the Mac, you once again need an external hardware device.
Many Android devices have NFC built in, so that would be a big plus intheir favour as they can write NFC tags.
