Just a note, instead of encoding the picture in the full destination URL, you can encode the picture into the padding section between the URL and the Reed-Solomon section, thus permitting the use of any URL. I used this technique a long time ago on qrpixel.com but forgot to renew the domain, oops... http://web.archive.org/web/20160423015339/http://www.qrpixel... Also for information about how this works, Russ Cox did…

Wow, I really like what qrpixel did! Do you know of any alternative tools (that are still around) that work the same way?

This is the first use of an expensive (~$500?) .new domain I’ve seen in the wild not associated with a global brand.

For those who don’t know, this domain is constrained to applications where a new file or process is created by visiting the domain, e.g., Google’s http://doc.new creating a new Google Doc file.

Is there a place where those constraints are laid out? The linked page only provides the following:

>Charleston Road Registry believes that given its wide variety of uses, the .new gTLD will best add value to the gTLD space by remaining purely open and unencumbered by registrant restrictions. There will, therefore, be no restrictions on second-level domain name registrations in the proposed gTLD, .new.

Can you deploy it somewhere? It seems very useful. Netlify should work great if it's a static page.
