Show HN: Print a WiFi Login Card

I like the interface and that it doesn't need a server to generate the QR image, but it doesn't work for my network ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: perhaps I should clarify that that's my network's name. In the qr code reader it shows up as ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and it's stored in wpa_supplicant.conf as c2af5f28e38384295f2fc2af (indeed missing the backslash).

Hah, I noticed the lack of escaping when skimming the code (see my comment—workaround until fixed will be for you to double the backslash yourself) but didn’t expect it to actually affect anyone. Don’t think I’ve never seen a backslash, semicolon, comma or colon in an SSID. Or non-ASCII!

Since finding out SSIDs are not limited to 7-bit ASCII or something, my networks have never been the same.

Hmm, but it looks like under WPA-Personal keys are still limited to printable ASCII?

Those you actually have to enter, though, so I never set those to anything that wouldn't be available on a standard keyboard.
