Show HN: Beautiful QR Codes

tlonny

Not to disparage, but I wrote: "Using the attached image as a stencil/background - please generate a QR code for https://XXX" into ChatGPT and got something valid that looks similar in style to your offering. I think the age of trying to wrap a highly focused AI task in a SaaS has come and gone.

Nice idea! Simple but no one has done it previously, so that counts. (As per some posts, I stand corrected, but still, I believe no one has done it as an implementation.)

The concept itself has been done a few times before. This Reddit thread has an explanation on how you can generate these yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/18aoqs0/co... The good old https://huggingface.co/monster-labs/control_v1p_sd15_qrcode_... model and its predecessors also help. The technique works for other black-and-white masks too: https://reticulated.net/dailyai/ai-generated-qr-codes-with-s...

Good looking qr codes is nice, but doing them using AI feels like a huge waste?

A lot of time spent on stuff like this, what we need however is to make QR codes that are faster and easier to scan at distance and angles.

Nice! Simple yet elegant. I was looking for something like this and prompting my nano banana pro to create it and it would work sometimes but not all the time.
