I used QR odes for the same sort of thing, but Firefox sync has gotten so good at sending tabs to specific devices, including a desktop that might not have a convenient camera, that it's even more convenient.
- jraph 7y agoIn the "now that I think about it, it was silly" category, I "copy pasted" a mail using QR Codes from the computer to the phone while in a train. I could send the mail from the phone, but it was more convenient to type it with the computer. KDE Plasma provides a QR Code for anything not too big you copy-pasted by clicking on an icon. "It should be more convenient than using the computer as a Wi-Fi hotspot for the phone, which is a two clicks operation, right?" Wrong. It was painful. We should reuse the idea of Quiet.js, seen today on HN [1], to solve this kind of situation. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21415946 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21415946
