 @cybeardjm @blinry @piko p.s. while the @cybeardjm “content creation…” QR scans just fine on my iPhone’s scanner, the interactive decoder by @blinry and @piko running in iOS safari refuses to recognise it :(  @lgvs @whybird @cybeardjm @blinry @piko I don't think it is mentioned on the page, but in the code: To minimize uniform-color areas and eye-like patterns. |
@cybeardjm @blinry @piko THESE ARE AWESOME. Are there any online tools that allow fiddling with the different options to encode some given data? If I have followed correctly, the mask pattern is entirely arbitrary and could be changed just for aesthetics. In many cases, the encoding could also be a user choice within limits. I can also see that the mysterious error correction section is malleable with insertion of other images like you, @cybeardjm, do or chrome-generated ones have - any simple insights into how that works?
Again though - WOW.
