Comment on Show HN: My weekend project, QR-codes for everybody

Great way to jump on QR trend. Amazingly simple implementation.

Would be nice to have some way to put in the URL on a page and have it generate PNGs of different sized codes, like for printing on a brochure or poster.

I'm working on some basic customization but first up is stats for number of scans, though that would require a redirect through the service (with URL shortening ofcourse). What do you think of that?

Stats are certainly good.

Do you do any sort of detection of things like detecting that www.foo.com/bar and foo.com/bar are the same page, so they can share a code? Maybe for advanced users almost like some kind of re-write rules so that requests for/from certain pages can be linked to a static QR code?

I would also require you to create a redirect in some DB every page that a QR code had shown up on. Alternately you could just change the URL to be http://mydomain.com/subdirectory/page.html?QRCode

try http://miniqr.com/ (with API) qr codes with png, doc, pdf support
