Ask HN: QR code generator that doesn't require sign up

Every time I have to generate a QR code I have to wade through 10s of spammy apps that ask for your email after you've tried to create a QR code.

Does anyone recommend a simple Mac app or web app for generating SVG QR codes where I don't have to sign up?

I don't mind paying for a Mac app, but I'm absolutely not signing up for a SAAS for something so simple.

This one seems simple: https://github.com/matteason/qr-code-generator. See it at http://qr.matteason.co.uk.

Thank you for sharing! I made this one. Had the same problem as the OP, the Google results are full of junk, so I made it just so I had something reliable to use.

I hate the ones that map your URL to their server and then forward to your URL. Super slimy.

There is a Windows app that works pretty well, but I can't remember what it's called.

It looks like there are Python codes that can help.
