qrcode support

Open clach04 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

It would be really neat to have qrcode (qr-code) support for URLs.

in the mean time possible workarounds:

  • browser extension, e.g. On Firefox desktop https://github.com/rugk/offline-qr-code is a good generic (rather than LinkDing specific) browser extension alternative/workaround (doesn't work on mobile though)
  • Hack your template files for your LinkDing instance (and deal with merges with upstream changes) - possible approach in https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/pull/221

See linked PR for demo (not suitable for merging yet). That implementation uses the web browser to render the qrcode (locally, without dependency on a third party server - which means URLs are not leaked). It does not need additional Python modules - alternative implementation would be implemented via https://github.com/dprog-philippe-docourt/django-qr-code (requires Python 3.7+)

I agree on this one.

@asitemade4u I pushed a less hacky (but still hacky ;)) version in #221, https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/pull/221#issuecomment-1086724502 has screen shots of current progress.

html/js is not my forte though. Its good enough for me to use on my machine but not for merging. If this something you can help with that would be awesome!
