A library call with a UI. Peak "why is this a subscription."

the prompt
Build me a QR code generator like QR Tiger, self-hosted. Requirements:

- A single page: enter a URL or text, live-preview the QR code, customize
  foreground/background color, corner style, and an optional center logo upload.
  Use the qr-code-styling library. Export as PNG or SVG.
- Dynamic QR codes: /r/:slug 302-redirects to a target URL stored in SQLite,
  so the destination can be edited later without reprinting the code. CRUD for
  these behind basic-auth (/admin, credentials from .env).
- Scan tracking for dynamic codes: log timestamp + user-agent + referer per hit,
  show per-code totals and a 30-day count in the admin list.
- Clean minimal UI, mobile-friendly, no accounts, no third-party calls.
- Node, one process, SQLite file storage, deploy notes for a VPS.

questions
What does the QR Tiger verdict mean?

The directory classifies the core job as practical to build with an AI coding agent. Use the prompt as a starting point and review the tradeoffs before relying on the result. This research record is not a hosted IVCIFY tool.

What price does this directory record show for QR Tiger?

The directory records $15/month for a paid plan, checked 2026-07-29. Verify the source before making a purchase decision. This reference stays outside retail Stack Math unless current matched evidence supports the comparison.

What do I lose by replacing QR Tiger?

Honestly: hosted dynamic-QR redirects on their domain; their scan-analytics dashboard; bulk generation UI. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to QR Tiger?

The listed prior art includes qr-code-styling (the styling library that does the heavy lifting). Inspect those projects before starting from a blank prompt.
