Please be patient, I'm adding extra workers to the instance. Old instance died because it exceeded limits.

I'm a bit curious… how much traffic is the front page of HN?

(I was thinking of posting a "Show HN" at some point, but I just do everything on my own machines. Not sure how much traffic my desktop would handle before figuratively melting. The nice thing about my Show HN is that it would be a static HTML page, so that's at least easier; yours is necessarily dynamic.)

I have been in the front-page twice, getting around 5k-10k visitors in the same day, which should give you an idea.

That seems to be what I typically see as well. I’ve seen up to 80k views over the course of a day.

In the two hours triggered 2546 request to generate a QR. And it literally killed my nano instance.

Holla. Awesome project. I am now #920 in queue. Where can I see the result once its finished?

Greetings

It should be inline replaced. I'll add a link to the final image name in case the connection breaks.

You can use GitHub Pages for free. No need to pay for AWS.

The codes are generated on their backend in a C program, but I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done in WASM.

Ultimately it should be made possible to do it locally. Current setting is low-quality and takes about 1-2 seconds. Mid-setting about 20 seconds and high about 20 minutes.

It's a front/back-end system. I'm currently running the backend on a c5a.xlarge instance.

Ah, I thought it's done client side. Never mind then.
