This looks super cool but I could only get 10/21 to scan with the classic zxing scanner (>100M downloads), and 3 of those took a bunch of playing with camera angles and distance, so I'd recommend against using anything too fancy for real world barcodes.
This is awesome. Does anyone know if there is a library for the amazing optical codes that apple uses in its device transfer? I know they have a custom patent for it so I don't know if its something anyone has tried to recreated...
I tried to use the qrframe package, but it doesn't seem to be published to npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/qrframe
Wow, super cool! I love the unique styling. Haven’t seen that before.
I (well, GPT-4) built freeqrgenerator.app specifically for my wife because she kept using the malicious sites that inject a redirect that inevitably die and stop working.
Thinking I can retire mine and use yours instead on the domain.
Yeah, there are a lot of annoying sites like that. Your site is cool, it's streamlined and has a easy to remember name and you made it (with a little help) which is great.
It's hard to find, but here are two other generator sites that are free and nice to use.
https://qr.grid.ws/ only has a text box and a download button
https://qrcode.antfu.me/ has a lot of options
I should look more into the half-tone. I'm assuming it works off of the error tolerance margins but I actually have no idea.
That's the cat! The other examples are nice, but the cat is amazing!
The author also has a rust based qr library that looks equally awesome
These are probably some of the more interesting looks I've seen. My poor phone looked like it was having a conniption fit trying to lock onto just one.
Did anyone else just watch the Veritasium video
I always notice these patterns on HN.
Always gives me dejavu and that feeling you get when you suddenly start encountering some new topic or word in suspiciously large amounts.
Some big sciency/techy outlet puts something interesting out, and suddenly related topics start popping up everywhere else. I am guilty of a few of these myself.
