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/

If it helps, now or later, since it is a "single page" application, Codeberg offers web pages for projects. It's not the wiki, the web pages are a repo branch themselves.

Have a peek at this demo...

The main repo:

https://codeberg.org/David64/sample_project

The pages branch of that repo:

https://codeberg.org/David64/sample_project/src/branch/pages

And the "website" for the pages branch:

https://david64.codeberg.page/sample_project/

At some point if you wanted to skip the costs, you could set up something similar with the only disadvantage being the URL:

https://justaqrcode.com/

vs say

https //gabe_sky codeberg page/justaqrcode/
