Yesterday I started building out some qrcode tooling for myself starting with qrcode.waylonwalker.com. This is part of my tinyapps project.
I have a couple of use cases for simple qr codes in python coming up. One is
for blog posts, the other is for auth into a new server application logged to a

import pyqrcode
url = pyqrcode.create('https://waylonwalker.com/qr-codes-in-python')
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', scale=8)
print(url.terminal(quiet_zone=1))
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', scale=12)
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', omithw=True) # width is controlled by the container
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', omithw=True, module_color='#ffd119')
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', omithw=True, module_color='#ff69b4', background='#2b034c')

Turns out that the default file browser application for hyprland works great, but you need to enable previews for remote storage for it to work for my use case here.
