QR design deep-dives, AI integrations, comparison teardowns, EU compliance rollouts. One post a week, written by the founder. Same content lands in the newsletter on Tuesdays.
You made a QR code for free, printed it, and weeks later it opens a 'code deactivated' page. The code didn't break. It was pointing at someone else's short link all along.
The menu changed, the event moved, the landing page got a new address. Whether you can fix the QR code that is already printed depends on one thing: is it static or dynamic?
Ask an AI assistant for a QR code and you often get a description of one, or an image that doesn't scan. Connect a QR service and it makes a real code you can print, change later and track.
Every QR code is either static or dynamic, and you can't switch after printing. The difference decides whether you can fix a mistake, count scans, or keep the code working for years.
You can only count scans if the scan passes through something you control. Here is what QR code tracking actually records, which numbers to trust, and how to connect scans to a campaign.
If you run a restaurant, manage a hospitality brand, or sell into restaurants in the EU — there's a regulation most operators haven't heard about yet that's going to change the QR codes on every European menu by 2027.
Custom domains are the single most asked-for feature in QR-platform procurement and the single most consistently up-tiered one. Here's who actually ships it on their entry-paid plan.
QR codes haven't changed visually in 25 years. The standard pattern — a black square with a logo punched in the middle — has become the universal short-circuit for 'scan to open something on my phone.' Here's a different approach.
We built a Model Context Protocol gateway into qrlia three months before the public launch. To pressure-test it, I gave Claude Desktop a tenant API key and told it to run my QR fleet for a week. No fine-tuning, no special prompts.
