Show HN: qrframe – generate beautiful qr codes with javascript code

I originally built a QR code generator as a resume project using Rust and I realized a web interface would make customization way easier.

This still generates the "data" using that rust library via wasm, but the rendering is all editable javascript to make an SVG or paint on an HTML canvas.

I was especially inspired by https://qrbtf.com which had some unique style options I had never seen before, which I ended up copying, and then I made some more.

Wow, super cool! I love the unique styling. Haven’t seen that before.

I (well, GPT-4) built freeqrgenerator.app specifically for my wife because she kept using the malicious sites that inject a redirect that inevitably die and stop working.

Thinking I can retire mine and use yours instead on the domain.

Yeah, there are a lot of annoying sites like that. Your site is cool, it's streamlined and has a easy to remember name and you made it (with a little help) which is great.

It's hard to find, but here are two other generator sites that are free and nice to use.

https://qr.grid.ws/ only has a text box and a download button

https://qrcode.antfu.me/ has a lot of options

I always notice these patterns on HN.

Always gives me dejavu and that feeling you get when you suddenly start encountering some new topic or word in suspiciously large amounts.

Some big sciency/techy outlet puts something interesting out, and suddenly related topics start popping up everywhere else. I am guilty of a few of these myself.
