Show HN: A Hand-Drawn QR Code Alternative

As many have already discussed that this is akin to a URL shortener, and not stand alone (like QR is ), I have a different question.

Your app has in-app-purchases. Please provide examples how you are monetizing this?

Also, I notice you use a G+ identity to tie all codes to, yet your pictures shows "Anonymous" as creator. Is that really anonymous, or fakenonymous?

As for monetization, I figured why the hell not. If somebody really wants to buy a simple meshtag that they can memorize and reuse (maybe it has their contact info), I'm not gonna stop them :). This isn't really a moneymaking scheme, this is a side project and my first Android/iOS app.

As for anonymity, it's anonymous to other users. If you deselect the anonymous checkbox when editing the tag, other users will see your name, and that's it

Please don't think I'm criticizing on your choice of monetization. Making money to continue doing what you like is a pretty big cornerstone here at HN :)

I was more curious what you were charging for.

Also, you're being discussed over on https://www.reddit.com/r/occult/comments/3esa6n/drawable_alt...

You really hit it with triangles / sigils and the occult. Perhaps a pivot? Too small a market?

It appears you'll be able to purchase tags. No info on how long the purchase lasts for.
