@rebane2001 Actually, I once made an app where you can load an arbitrary image and then overlay a QR code on top of it and slide the code around and resize it and the app finds the orientation of the code so that the readability is least impaired - see example. Sorry but the blog post is in german and the video is offline (thanks, youtube):

I added the video to this post...Edit: corrected the hyperlink

@rebane2001 here I was thinking I understood qr codes, what do mean you only need 30%?? But- I- I thought it’s like a deck of cards with like too many possiblties to be realistically found in a lifetime… so wouldn’t that mean that if we only look at 30% of it, it could happen that it has the same 30% as another code? Like if I only look at the top two cards it’s totally possible to get ace heart and ace spade again with the rest still totally jumbled..
@JoeMama it's the other way around. 30% is the amount you can garble.

@rebane2001 Very cool guide! I especially like how you built it up.
To end up with the same principle that lies behind my qr code generator https://pictureqrcode.com to just have the small dots behind any image. -
this is super cool
Question, possibly silly:
can you make a QR code that has two or more codes and the code your device sees depends on what angle you are relative to the code ?
sort of like color shift ink used in currency ?@failedLyndonLaRouchite @rebane2001
one time i made a red cyan qr code that scanned differently based on which lense on your 3d glasses you used to cover your phone camera -
@rebane2001 I made a URL shortener + QRCode generator to get the most scannable QRCode, and most of it, it's open source because MY GOD IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A PROVIDER THAT IS NOT ENSHITTIFIED TO THE BRIM.

Documentation is inexistent, but I'm here if you have questions, and if people are interested, I could add a README (LOL).
@rebane2001 well, it seems some people are interested. I'm gonna add some kind of README

@rebane2001 Got a README.md document now.
I also took the opportunity to commit some horror. But you can't cry because of it if you're a boy.

@sidhewolf @rebane2001 don't hesitate to send me feedback, especially if it was more complicated than it should.
It was mostly a 2 h hack for me to get qrcode.
But if there a little more work I can do to make usable for other people, I'd be glad. -

@simonzerafa @rebane2001 thanks, I hate it

I thought it was a clever hack myself. Not my idea but quite impressive

@rebane2001 FWIW Samsung's stock camera app struggles with all of your "rest of the pixel does not matter" examples

@rebane2001 That's interesting, what's the version? Mine is 16.5.01.29 on S26 Ultra.

Never mind, thanks

@rebane2001 I've had fun manually reconstructing some unscannable damaged QRs, was considering making some sort of tool to automate a good chunk of the manual routine you have to do with that

@rebane2001 And here’s another tip: if applicable, don’t forget to include the URL, email address or any other information in plain text for those who don’t have a smartphone.
