• Any open source Aztec Code reading software other than ZXing?

  Is ZXing really the only open source library out there that can read Aztec Codes? I understand that on Android and IOS there are free scanners baked in to the OS.

• Ask HN: How are QR scanners written?

  On my first job at an internet provider company, they had no backend. They were using some proprietary software and SQL functions instead. One day the CEO came in and said: "Guys, we need to print a small QR code on mails to customers. ". The team lead responded: "Sure, our intern can do it." Oh my gosh, that was a crazy task! I built a fully functional QR code generator on pure SQL from scratch! It was very fun.... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Generating a QR code with only ARM Assembly

  Zxing has an online decoder -- https://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx -- but I've seen it fail so often that I'm wondering whether it's very "strict" / doesn't account for image distortion that much? Or does the web site use hardcoded settings that are more tweakable in the library? Huh, interesting -- zxing is in "Maintenance Mode Only": https://github.com/zxing/zxing I'd be suuuuper interested to know: what's the state... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
