So many things, big and small have become enshittified and it can feel pretty overwhelming imagining doing anything about it.

So I decided to start disenshittifying (@pluralistic's term) stuff one small step at a time.

Starting with a QR code creator and a password generator. No ads, no tracking, no shit.

And I encourage anyone to join in, or make suggestions!

@andy_warb that is one I've been thinking about but the only way I can see it working is via a server, which was sort of expressly out of scope for this project. Though you could do it so the server just uncompasses a longer url.

But do we need link shorteners any more?

A significant use case is solved by QR codes, and then socials have their own built in/
