1. this is great!

2. QR code support? %QR=256x256&QR_ECC=min etc.?

3. prolly other natural / ez "make it big" - base64 tho not all browsers will support long enough URL to be worth it

The QR code support is documented here: https://bigwords.page/docs#qr-code

It’s “EZ” in that you don’t control the parameters of how the QR gets created. You can just control where it gets shown, and what it links to (though it does support telephone, SMS, Wi-Fi, email, and location).
