Am I missing something or does your repo only contain the minified version of the javascript, and not contain the `index.js` referenced in the `package.json` nor the method to build to minified artifacts? This seems like it's not open source.

Hey,

thanks for pointing that out. Rest assured, the site is 100% open source as I'm simply publishing the repo using GitHub Pages. There's no build step.

Regarding package.json's main file: It's a mistake. I did not update it properly after I did `npm init`.

Where does https://github.com/TimDaub/scan.lol/blob/master/qr-scanner-w... come from then?

There is also zxing.

Ah, this is nice to have from the ZXing team.

Doesn't work for me, fyi. iPhone 11, white blank screen

You may know this already, but just in case: the iOS camera app has a QR reader built in, just point the camera at a valid code and it’ll automatically display a tooltip containing the URL which will open in Safari if you tap it.

I just use Firefox. There's a QR button on the URL bar
