## What it is
A Nuxt-based web app for designing QR codes with arbitrary artwork in the middle section. It deterministically toggles pixels in the QR pattern without relying on error correction, so the code still scans reliably.

## Use cases
- design custom qr codes with logos or art in the middle
- generate scannable branded qr codes without error-correction tricks
- self-host a qr code designer web app
- create qr codes that link to short urls
- make decorative qr codes for print or marketing

## When to choose
- you want visually designed qr codes that remain fully scannable
- you can use a 25-character alphanumeric url for the qr target
- you want to self-host and customize the design tool

## When to avoid
- you need arbitrary-length or non-alphanumeric urls encoded in the qr code
- you want a hosted service with no setup
- you need qr codes that exploit error correction for maximum design freedom

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, web-framework, static-site-generator
- domain: web-development, graphics, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: qr-codes, vue, nuxt, design-tool, link-shortening, nodejs, web-server
