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.<p>I used this technique a long time ago on qrpixel.com but forgot to renew the domain, oops...<p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20160423015339/http://www.qrpixel.com/" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20160423015339/http://www.qrpixel...</a><p>Also for information about how this works, Russ Cox did a good article on it, calculating using the R-S section as well: <a href="https://research.swtch.com/qart" rel="nofollow">https://research.swtch.com/qart</a>
This is the first use of an expensive (~$500?) .new domain I’ve seen in the wild not associated with a global brand.<p>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 <a href="http://doc.new" rel="nofollow">http://doc.new</a> creating a new Google Doc file.<p><a href="https://icannwiki.org/.new" rel="nofollow">https://icannwiki.org/.new</a>
The site is really confusing to use or maybe creating links don't work on the latest version of Chrome? Also, the resolution is extremely low -- for example "5SszZ2" is completely indistinguishable from "555222", "SSSZZZ", etc.
Looks cool, but the generated QR codes link to qr.new instead of the domain I entered to link to. This is on iPad Safari. Is it required to register before this will work as expected? It's unclear to me.
It fails for my trying to post something to <a href="http://localhost:5001/piiq-1/us-central1/create" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:5001/piiq-1/us-central1/create</a> (tried with Firefox and Edge)
