#2How well does it hold up in adverse conditions, like outdoors in bad weather, or dark light, or a drunk person trying to take the photo?

#3Tried a few times with the "Scan" demo on https://jabcode.org/create/ using Firefox for Android, but it appears to just get stuck displaying a loading spinner.
Seems to work in Chrome, so not sure what's wrong with the implementation to make it not work.

It doesn't appear to have anything to correct for orientation like the 3 corners in a QR code.
Edit: ok, found the docs/description of the finder patterns: https://imgur.com/a/ZXXLtQ0

#7In case anyone missed it, a very interesting link explaining how QR codes work was posted on HN a few days ago[1]. I wish there was some explanation like this on this JAB code and how exactly it gives high capacity over the b/w code.

#9People print codes on glossy papers or try to scan them in various light conditions. This is not alternative for outdoor placement.

To add to this, I am getting vague error messages with any text of a certain length (longer than 100 characters or so) if I tweak any, or at least several, of the advanced settings.
