Quote from: Foozball on February 26, 2013, 02:02:00 PMOK, reviving the DEAD! (thread)

If you guys were a start up business (first sale last week) and you needed a QR code supplier, who would you go with, or would you start by generating them yourself?
The online generators are really only good for single or very small quantities of codes, and there isn't any (easy) way to track usage. You can do simple analytics by tying it to a Google, which is kind of cool but it's a lot of work if you get into any volume of codes.

I personally like Kerem Erkan's generator, it makes nice vector formatted files and has a lot of other options.

If you want to hosted tracking & heavy analytics and all that crap I'll dig up some of my other resources, just say the word!

By some chance, does anyone know how to extract the "Check In" URL from Facebook, so I can generate the QR codes to link directly to "checking in at X - bar" instead of going to FB first?

Quote from: Joe on February 28, 2013, 12:11:41 AMI don't know much about Facebook though I do use it some...

Wow, that sucks. I'm about to redo a site from scratch and announced straight away that I "don't do facebook". I'm leaving it in the hands of the wordy & clueless.

Yeah, don't think this is possible. The Facebook check-in appears to be tied to their API, so there's not really a URL that can be extracted. Pisser.

Edit to add:

Okay, maybe it is possible but I think you have to go through a service that generates the QR based on the FB API. Scan this code and it should take you directly to that company's FB Check-In page:;

The site they're using is Youscan.me but I can't see any pricing or info without creating a login.

The Mark Fuckerberg is a clever fuck.
