One time I tried to understand the QR algorithm and I didn't understand it at all despite trying multiple times. Maybe I can try again with the help of LLMs. Hmm not a bad idea

I found this page very helpful in understanding each step of the QR code creation process. I can't say I recall it all but it would be possible to turn this into a small booklet, I guess. https://typefully.com/DanHollick/qr-codes-T7tLlNi Here's a HN discussion from 2022 about it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32837565

This is an interactive guide that will break down the process for your specific QR-code.

#15thats fun I would definitely scan this rather than a generated one

#18This is a nice trick worth remembering. I have used it myself in the past. Handy not just for creating ultra small QR codes, but also for getting as much data as possible into the limits of the largest QR codes.

#20It's cool for the receiver, but tedious for the sender (but it's a good way to help with difficult to read cursive).
