Done. No login, no email capture, no annoying upsells. Took about 30 seconds to make with vibe coding. The fascinating bit? Every other QR generator out there is an absolute nightmare of dark patterns, requiring signups and throwing marketing garbage at you before you can download a simple image. They're all monetising through data collection when the entire thing can be generated client-side on your computer. No backend needed. This got me thinking about the broader opportunity. There are entire industries built on making simple tools deliberately complicated—word counters, translators, converters—all wrapped in friction and ads. You could disrupt this with vibe coding by creating clean, fast versions of these tools, host them together, and monetise through straightforward advertising instead of user manipulation. Find any space where companies are taking the biscuit with unnecessary complexity, build the simple version in seconds, and watch the traffic shift. The opportunity isn't just QR codes — it's anywhere friction exists.
