QR codes are not meant for humans to read, they are meant for machines to read. Why do they want to make QR codes round or make them heart-shaped when they could just embrace the brutalist geometric QR code?

    I’m fairly pro qr code, at least over urls. Its just easier to scan and go to a website over sit and type out or worse take a picture and convince myself to go to it later to hand jam it.

    But not just printing the map is so silly lol

      I would imagine Android would have something similar but idk
