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!

Just a QR Code

@gabe_sky Big fan of single page "websites" that folk can download to use locally, this is one of mine (ugly code, still being tinkered with) https://thegeoff.net/hazprint/

@Cyborus @spacehobo @gabe_sky 12345? That's the kind of security code an idiot puts on their luggage?!

@_thegeoff @spacehobo @gabe_sky I feel like this is a hitchhiker's reference, but I haven't read it in a long time, so I'm not confident

@Cyborus @spacehobo @gabe_sky Close! Spaceballs. Similar vibe, not *quite* as clever.

@_thegeoff @Cyborus @spacehobo @gabe_sky it was also the PIN used to "secure" the audio recordings traffic crosswalk systems played across the USA.

Except that one was only 1234.
