Someone somewhere at DB has written a QR code generator that outputs QR codes as HTML tables. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or horrified.
@cato that’s honestly not the worst idea. Easily supports ancient devices that don’t do svg properly yet, is natively scalable, and probably even saves some data over anything except svg where you put the entire code into one big chonky path data.
@jaseg @cato likely horrible in a screen reader tho. Ofc a qr code is a qr code, but one could still have an image with an alt text saying that it's a qr code of this or this url
@alice @jaseg @cato <table aria-label="QR Code of ...">...</table>
