I built RoQR, a privacy-respecting platform for dynamic QR codes

Hi HN, For the last few months, I have been building RoQR, a privacy-respecting SaaS platform for dynamic QR codes. Dynamic QR codes let the code creator see statistics about the number of scans and update the target that the code links to without changing the code itself. RoQR is different from other dynamic QR code platforms in a few ways: Privacy respecting RoQR is a marketing tool, but we aim to be the most privacy-respecting alternative in our niche. Unlike a lot of other companies in the space, we don’t collect any personally identifiable information about the users that scan our codes, we respect [DNT-headers]( https://allaboutdnt.com/ ), we don’t use cookies to identify repeat scanners and we don’t offer tracking pixels that track end-users across the web. My hope with RoQR is to do for QR codes what [Plausible]( https://plausible.io ) (big fan!) is doing for website analytics. Cost-aligned pricing All of our plans include our full set of features. The only factor that determines the cost is the number of monthly scans. I think this better aligns our costs with revenues, and makes all of our improvements available to all our customers. Open source [RoQR is open-source]( https://github.com/roqr/roqr ), licensed under the AGPL. If you’re interested, I have a [longer post]( https://roqr.app/blog/introducing-roqr/ ) on our blog announcing the launch. Happy to answer any questions and would love to hear any feedback you might have.
