i was curious as to what the qr code in a meme actually said but it wasn't scannable so i spent 2 hours manually recreating and decoding it

@rebane2001 I understand repainting the missing pixels but what are the color blobs for? And why were you writing hex codes?

I would have thought after remaking the qrcode it would be scannable and that would be the end of that? Maybe im not understanding something.

either way wow that was a lot of effort

@ChaosKitsune color blobs were individual bytes of data, and the code i was writing was binary (0b1010 syntax in python)

i couldn't get it to be scannable so i had to manually decode it to figure out what it said

@rebane2001 Perhaps pretty late, but there's tooling to help with this kind of thing, namely https://merri.cx/qrazybox/

@forst i tried it a while back and iirc it seemed neat but didn't have all the features i wanted, i was working on my own website for doing qr stuff but it hasn't gotten anywhere yet
