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

A free QR code generator. No ads, no trackers, nothing to buy.

@sebsauvage @gabe_sky Hmm - that's in fact a good point - I'll have to add script-loading from #danu itself! So it's all contained...

Why not host the script yourself ? This is a single file.

@sebsauvage @gabe_sky absolutely - but #danu first needs to learn how to load a script from the DHT :)

Currently it only knows how to show a page from the DHT. And only with the statistics around.
