Show HN: Create a QR code with text in the code pattern

There's definitely a problem though: when I edit the URL as a Link QR (e.g. changing .com to .co), the little checkmark changes to a spinner then back to a checkmark, but the QR code does not change at all. No error messages in the console other than two script-src CSP errors.

I think that is because the link does not actually send you directly to your website, but routes you through qr.new. If qr.new were to go down, any QR codes created would not work.

This is correct. I have basically combined a link shortener with a QR code.

The change is server side, the QR code pattern shouldn't change. When you click or scan the QR code after you switch types it should behave accordingly.
