Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Great idea, thanks! Bookmarked.

As chance would have it, I also built another useful thing, way back in 2015:

https://batterystaple.pw/ - generates secure #Passphrases entirely in your browser

Like you, I built it because I was not happy with the existing alternatives. Since then, I have been using it quite regularly, but I have no idea if anybody else uses it (nor a way to find out).

In any case, I will gladly continue to pay for the domain name!
