Ask HN: Should I continue to developt my QR code product?

4 pointsby mahadazadabout 11 years ago
Hi All, I want advice from you people. These days I am working on a very advanced QR code generator website. Which will be much more advance than the solutions out there. But these days QR codes are falling back. Should I continue to develop my product or not?<p>Thank you

No. People don&#x27;t use them. Stores&#x2F;brands&#x2F;agencies use them less. I don&#x27;t see VCs funding them.<p>Sorry if it&#x27;s not what you want to hear, but you should stop. Don&#x27;t fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy.

It really depends on who you are targeting with your site. If you got a niche to market your product to I don&#x27;t see a reason to stop. If it&#x27;s aimed at consumers and you don&#x27;t think the QR code usage is growing in that area maybe it&#x27;s time to cut your losses and work on something else.

There is pretty much no market for QR code services here in the States (I would guess it&#x27;s the same in Europe), which is reflected in the opinions here.<p>In Asia (I think China specifically, not sure), QR codes are ubiquitous and widely used.

No. I ignore them or don&#x27;t even notice them anymore. The only good use case I&#x27;ve seen for them is as asset inventory stickers.

+1 to both callmeed (sunk cost fallacy) and runjake (assets)
