Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.
My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Discord might use AI to help you catch up on conversations
Discord has become the place for gaming communities on the internet. It just celebrated its 10th anniversary. But as it tries to grow, one of the big challenges it faces is that it isn’t a good replacement for forums.Jay Peters (The Verge)
