There are a number of browser add-ons for "QRing" a web address, but the nice thing about Zint is that you don't need a web address to point folks at. In other words, you can generate a QRcode (or other symbol) from any stand-alone text you want. E.G. a physical mailing address and telephone number like you would have on a business card. I'm sure there is a limit to the number of characters, but I tested making QR-haiku. ☺ On Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at 09:33, Luke Menzies eloquently inscribed: > There is an Extension or Plugin built into the Chrome browser that will > generate a QR code from a web address.
