Just a QR Code

I needed to make a QR code again. It's one of those tasks that's useful enough to pop up regularly, but not frequently enough for you to have a go-to solution. When the need arises, you end up googling "QR code generator" and picking the least sketchy-looking option from the results. A couple ads and some invisible trackers are just the price you pay, right?

Not today.

Rather than bemoan the fact that there's no easy way to get just a QR code without the low-key parasitic monetization, I found a library (qrious) and put together just enough Javascript code to generate QR codes in the browser. No ads, no trackers, no sending your data to someone else's server for who-knows-what-reason.

Go ahead and inspect the page source. Save it to your computer, copy it, remix it, whatever you want.

This is my act of resistance: I'll pay for the domain name and hosting just so you and I don't ever have to give one more click or tracker data-point to some questionable "free" site again. If you find this useful, you can pay it back by making or doing something of your own and giving it away freely.

This is the web we were trying to build.

Be excellent to each other.
