badger2040: ### Suggestion:

Would it be feasible to include an option qrcode.txt that automatically populates your badge photo as the QR code generated from the link?

It might over complicate the example, but if you want to try it here's a changeset to replace the image with a QR code if you supply an additional line in badge.txt with a URL:

Notable issue with this is that the photo area is very small and non-square so longer URLs might result in QR codes that either don't fit or don't easily scan. But I guess URL shorteners solve that somewhat.
