The point is to not rely on a server to host anything though. That the QR contains the data itself, not just a URL pointing to the data. Otherwise it is no different from any other QR code that has a URL in it.
- geofft 6y agoThe suggestion, I think, is to put the code in the URL itself, not use the URL as a pointer. You could probably use a data: URL to avoid needing a server at all, but if not, the server would just provide a launcher and not host the application code.
- codetrotter 6y agoIf the binary data is too big to fit in QR, then URL encoding is only going to require more bytes, and it will not fit either.
