Someone else on HN earlier posted their QR-code scanning Android app[1], which I've been using because it doesn't automatically follow URLs but displays the raw text of the QR code. It's been helpful for me, especially when I've been setting up QR codes for a new wireless router.

- lurtbancaster 5y agoGod F-Droid is amazing! Really wish there was an F-Droid equivalent for iOS. But Apple probably wouldn't like that.
- tremon 5y agoOuch. I, on the other hand, would not trust an appId from the example.com domain.
- c0wb0yc0d3r 5y agoWhy? I'm not an Android dev but the appId just identifies an app right? If the author doesn't have a domain, what should they do instead?
