QR codes #4

Open pallinger opened 10 years ago

FileTea could be a very nice way to share files with mobile phones from a local machine. The only painful step is to send the URL to the phone, for which the best way may be QR codes. So maybe besides the URLs there could be a small button to show a QR code for that URL.

libqrencode would be a great solution for this.

Generating a QR code for the download URL is a very useful feature, indeed. However, I think it is better to do this client-side using any of the QR generation libs written for browsers (https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=QR+javascript).

I have been busy (for years now :( ) adding support for WebRTC and reimplementing the UX completely. I decided not to devote my very limited time adding features to current version. But since progress has been slow and this seems like a very useful feature, perhaps I should devote some time to have something working over current UX. Lets see.

Thanks for caring about FileTea!
