A small gift idea for the FreeBSD community

[Daniel Santos]

Hi,

As someone who genuinely appreciates what FreeBSD stands for, I wanted to reach out with something that might be a fun addition to the project.

We built TextQR.de - a tool that embeds human-readable text directly into QR code pixels. The result is a code that's instantly recognisable before it's even scanned. Please find a sample attached.

I'd be happy to create custom FreeBSD QR codes as a contribution to the community — no strings attached. If there's interest in taking it further, I'd be glad to chat.

Thanks for everything you do,
Daniel Santos

I have a technical question: Have you estimated by how much
does that degrade the reliablitty of such QR codes?

Otherwise, your post looks like a camouflaged ad to me.

Do you use FreeBSD as your main OS, is your product's
website FreeBSD-powered?

The QR encoding stays intact with error correction level L.

I am thinking of adapting FreeeBSD for my server, actually it's Linux based.

Didn't have the guts to try it in production yet.

Regards,
