A library call with a UI. Peak "why is this a subscription."

the prompt
Build me a QR code generator like QR Tiger, self-hosted. Requirements:

- A single page: enter a URL or text, live-preview the QR code, customize
  foreground/background color, corner style, and an optional center logo upload.
  Use the qr-code-styling library. Export as PNG or SVG.
- Dynamic QR codes: /r/:slug 302-redirects to a target URL stored in SQLite,
  so the destination can be edited later without reprinting the code. CRUD for
  these behind basic-auth (/admin, credentials from .env).
- Scan tracking for dynamic codes: log timestamp + user-agent + referer per hit,
  show per-code totals and a 30-day count in the admin list.
- Clean minimal UI, mobile-friendly, no accounts, no third-party calls.
- Node, one process, SQLite file storage, deploy notes for a VPS.

questions
Can I vibecode QR Tiger?

Yes. A competent AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) can build a usable personal QR Tiger replacement in one session with the prompt on this page. It runs on your own machine or server with no subscription.

How much does QR Tiger cost?

QR Tiger costs about $7/month (Regular, checked 2026-08-13), which is $84 per year. That's what you save by replacing it with one prompt.

What do I lose by replacing QR Tiger?

Honestly: hosted dynamic-QR redirects on their domain; their scan-analytics dashboard; bulk generation UI. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to QR Tiger?

Yes: Mini QR (A tidy QR workshop that generates, scans and batches without asking for a credit card or your life story.) QR TIGER Free (The same generator gives away unlimited static codes that never expire; dynamic codes stop at three and 500 scans each.) QRCode Monkey (Static QR codes, unlimited scans and useful exports; tracking is the bit they keep for paying customers.) All 3 curated free alternatives are at canivibecodeit.com/qr/alternatives.
