Fixed, thanks! Yes, longevity is an issue with anything online. On the other hand, in this case recovery is not a huge issue for anybody technical enough.

I was thinking at first it would be better if it takes the entire webpage as a datauri instead of the raw html like this basic business card template:

but that's already about half the max bytes for a QR Code, so maybe its not really that interesting.

There's no need to base64 encode HTML, since it's already plaintext. You can just omit the encoding declaration in the data URL and include the raw HTML, e.g. 'data:text/html,<html><body><h1>Hello, world!</h1></body></html>'. That should save a bit of overhead.
