    Project for wifi login via QR code and auto-update of wifi password

  • Bit of a self-plug I know, but this reminds me of something I had made a while back (https://github.com/kmanc/wifi_qr). Nice work! Always fun to see others' take on neat projects

  • qraffe

  • I once had an idea to generate "hidden" qr codes in art and photos. Initially I wanted to take a photo of a giraffe and replace one of its spots with a QR code, and hang it in my living room for guests to scan. It turned into this (broken) website: https://www.qraffe.com/. I don't have a lot of time right now to fix it. The pdf rendering is broken. If anyone likes this idea and wants to help with a PR, I'll be mighty appreciative. https://github.com/joeframbach/qraffe

  • svg2pdf.js

    A javascript-only SVG to PDF conversion utility that runs in the browser. Brought to you by yWorks - the diagramming experts

  • Hmm, after tinkering around a bit, I think according to https://github.com/yWorks/svg2pdf.js/issues/82 , the mask element in the giraffe SVGs is not supported in the PDF converter. It is just dropped, leafing the qraffe rather qr-less.

    But I sadly know neither svg enough to think up an alternative approach, or a JS/TS dev enough to see if there are other libraries.

  • wifiqr
