EDIT: Back online!
Hi all,
A little while ago I had a need to generate quite a lot of QR codes, and the only generators I could find online had an upper limit of 100 codes, so I got some cheap hosting and made my own generator (with no limit).
Its more of a trial run for me to see if I could make something (and learn a bit of C# on the way)…
Anyway here it is:
Basically heres how it works:
- Go to page
- Put in a new line for every new QR code you want to make
- Hit "convert"
- The site will convert all your text to QR codes, and then give it back to you in the form of a zip file.
Let me know if it works for you :) Would be interested in feedback. Sorry about the horrendous design, its basic but it works.
Nice work!
That said…
Now, I would assume the reason for 100 code limit on other providers is that if you have 100 people trying to get 100 codes, that's 10000 codes which may be the limit of what the provider can reasonably process (processing power/bandwdith). If you uncap the 100 to unlimited, and some need 1000s, this would be problematic for processing power/bandwidth.
Depending on what sort of queue and bottleneck system you have implemented, someone who wants 1 code might have to wait a long time for the few 1000s to finish for example.
So, initially your work will probably be useful to a fair few, but I believe if it becomes too commonly used, you'll hit the wall with issues of processing power/bandwidth.
