Having just struggled with bitly's QR code generator (kept freezing up in Firefox for some reason), I look forward to giving this a try.

fwiw if you need a simple string as a qr code quickly: Type the following search into duckduckgo.com and it will forward your text to the qrserver.com api. You'll be sent directly to a png file.

!qr Your desired qr code.

I use it to transfer my current URL to a phone quickly. It's my default search engine so I'll just add !qr before the URL and it gets me the QR.

The ! notation is called a Bang and you can use lots of them to get to other search engines. e.g. "!hn bangs".

Thanks for reminding me about the !qr bang trigger~

It successfully encoded a long URL[1] that causes an error on OP's site. (And works better than the built-in chrome QR code generator)
