Show HN: QRCodes Shaped with Text/Images – NitroQR

Hi HN,

I built a QR code generator, NitroQR.com.

I was always a bit disappointed that "custom" QR codes usually just meant overlaying a logo in the center, which relies on error correction to cover up the data. I wanted to see if the visual information could be part of the code itself.

NitroQR lets you embed images or text messages directly into the data-holding modules of the QR code, so the entire pattern can be part of your design, not just a block in the middle.

There’s also an experimental feature I'm playing with: generating a single QR code that resolves to different URLs depending on the scanner's distance.

No sign-ups are needed, it's completely free to use. I'm working on a more advanced customizer, but the core functionality is live now.

Would love for you to try it out and hear any feedback. Thanks!
