qr-api generates QR codes on demand. Send a GET request with any text, get back a ready-to-use PNG — no library to install, no encoder to maintain. $10/month, unlimited requests, no rate limits. Built with Node.js, Express, Postgres, deployed on Railway with Stripe billing. This is my first project ever — went from never using git to a live paid product in two sessions, mistakes and all. Would love feedback on pricing and positioning!
Congrats on shipping your first product, that's genuinely cool. Quick question though — since you're generating QR codes server-side, what happens if my service gets a sudden spike of requests? Even with "no rate limits" there's gotta be some kind of scaling story behind the scenes to keep things reliable.
Hit your API with a quick curl and got a clean PNG back in under a second, which is honestly all I ever wanted from a QR endpoint. Pricing feels fair for something I can just drop into a side project without babysitting a library. Congrats on shipping your first thing, it shows.
