Hello @Beulu, thanks for liking my work! I'm not too sure what do you mean to have an option for the given list — as long you have the encoded string for those formats (obtained from another source e.g. external app/website), you can create the QR code for them. For example for Vcard, you can refer to some text examples in #44.

Do you mean you would like a way to generate those strings directly on this website given some params? If that's the case, that's possible, but would require a bigger design to incorporate into the website.

Thinking as https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/en/

The goal is not to have an standalone app ? I think I'm not able to do this. As the website above, it's more more way simple.

Website ? You mean the app ? Think it will be easiest to create QR code.

Do you think triangles or diamonds forms are possible in corners or others like here https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/qr-code-api-with-logo/ ? Just asking ^^

Thank you for the QRCodeMonkey reference website! I see what you mean by a standalone app that does everything for you now :D

The original intent for making this website is mainly to create QR codes easily for very basic links for sharing, for example for presentations and social media. It was unintended to be as complex as a standalone app like QRCodeMonkey — that's why the website only has a text input for the "Data" string and there's no ui to help you generate the actual encoded string.

For other types of data strings outside of website links, I agree that having some ui on MiniQR to generate this string would be helpful. I also didn't know there's so many different usages of QR codes outside of website links and Wifi (only recently i saw it on phones).

However, this is a very big feature request, so I likely won't have the capacity to work on this request after work unless I get sponsors for this issue.

For your other question for triangle/diamond corners, the qr-code-styling library that i'm using to generate the QR code doesn't support those styling options — so I can't support those at the moment until there's an alternative open-source library or I write a library myself (which will take a lot of time to research and also write the algorithm).

Thank you for raising this issue and elaborating on it, hope for your understanding!
