  • my-qr.art

    Design custom QR codes with this web app!

    • Yeah, cool idea! I've also been thinking about adding different colors in light and dark and allowing users to paint in full color. QR code scanners usually don't really care about color, but the tricky part is making sure that the QR code has enough contrast for the scanner to recognize what is dark or light. If you have an idea how to set this up or even implement it nicely, feel free to open an issue or pull request on https://github.com/raatmarien/my-qr.art :)

  • qrtiny

    Tiny QR Code Generator (V1 only) for embedded contexts

    • Not all APIs might expose it, but the spec allows it (it's useful for squeezing a bit more data in as encodings are smaller for some sub-strings). I've used it myself in this example: https://github.com/danielgjackson/qrtiny#use
