Overview

This project is an experiment to see what typing with QR Codes instead of letters looks like. There's no practical use I can think of for it other than it looks kinda cool.

Details

The QR codes are generated by the Lean QR library. It makes a canvas element for each character's QR code. bitty-js powers the interface.

Spaces show up as spaces in the output. Everything else shows up as the corresponding QR Code.

No attempt is made to keep words from breaking across lines. Things won't line up exactly as a result.

Performance

The typewriter works fine on my M1 Mac up to a given point. If the text starts getting longer than a few sentences it starts to bog down. Mileage may vary.
