Is anyone willing to sacrifice their sanity for the sake of implementing a QR renderer as TTF hinting code?

    You all know this is the answer. In fact you will do this and then post it on Show HN proudly.

      The downvotes aren't saying the comment is wrong (though it might be), they are saying “if it is that easy, you ask Claude”. The parent comment seemed to be specifically asking if a person would work on it, not specifying what tools might be used in that work.

        You're totally right. I was being facetious; it just seems to be what everyone is saying now and I was playing into that stereotype a bit. That isn't to say Claude couldn't do it though.

  I love seeing nonsense like that. How that work graphically though? Just keep adding to a same QR code that keeps getting denser as more text is added? I guess it doesn't have to practical though :)

  - https://fuglede.github.io/llama.ttf/ - https://github.com/bjia56/translate.ttf - https://github.com/hsfzxjy/handwriter.ttf Harfbuzz now has WASM interpreter for a shaper. You can make pretty much arbitrary programs in fonts now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1Drb9Vw9M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1Drb9Vw9M
