I finished another #webdev side project and built the QR code generator of my dreams: :fietkau_software: https://fietkau.software/qr

@julian Could you please make it create a standard-sized quiet zone, at least as an option? I see lots of options to make the codes harder to read, shown off in your examples, but not one to make it fully standard-compliant.

@julian
Well done. Bravo. -
@julian Great stuff! I was just creating QR codes yesterday and was annoyed at the freemium / ad riddled options.

@ascherbaum Not much of an idea beyond the obvious: my code doesn't require jQuery. Besides that, it looks like Jerome's script is quite old. It paints the QR code onto a canvas element, so you only get PNG downloads, no SVG. If what you want is a no-frills QR code generator with "Save as PNG" functionality, its upside is that it seems to be quite small and efficient!
-
@fyberpunk Hmm, maybe! I guess it'd be really only needed in the downloaded files, not in the live display on the site. So far I've always just eyeballed the quiet zone after the fact myself when placing the code into a layout. Do need to think about whether it should be an option and what the default should be.

@m Thank you!

@box464 Thank you! I used to use https://www.qrcode-monkey.com as the least sucky alternative I knew of, but it still has an artificial delay on the download to show you an ad.

@julian OK, makes sense. Will see if I find time and can compare the two.

@ascherbaum Do note for the comparison that my code (the open source release) only does the graphical rendering, not the QR code generation. The demo page includes Project Nayuki's QR code generator libary for that purpose: https://www.nayuki.io/page/qr-code-generator-library

@julian love this! Am using it with a lot of joy for some talk slides i'm preparing
-
@tomstafford I'm glad! And same here, gonna be showing a final slide with a QR code tomorrow.

@tonymasiello Thank you, I'm glad it's useful!

@julian hey! Thanks so much for this, I'm using QR codes in a couple of different hobby projects and this is also the QR generator of my dreams, too.
I have one quick feature suggestion/request - just something to say how big the image is in pixels (as simple as "33x33" for example), with or without the all-white border. This would be especially useful for planning incorporating QR codes into pixel art.
-
@timixretroplays Heya, glad you like it! Yeah, I think by now I have accumulated enough feature requests for an "advanced options" tab. I'll get to it later in the week hopefully, feel free to remind me if I forget.

@julian @whybird @kimby I came to ask the same question, and after a little searching, I better understand why this isn't as easy as it should be!
This would be useful though, as tonight I screenshot an emoji on my phone, cropped it, then uploaded it, which is a messy workflow.
Here's the best article I found l, just in case it helps. https://fullystacked.net/using-emoji-on-the-web/

@julian This is such a handy tool, thanks!
One small request is to consider a button to switch the colors in any 2-color gradient. It's a small detail, but saves the copy/copy/paste/paste steps.
