QR Canvas: The BEST Call to Action for your product

QR Canvas came out of a really simple frustration: every time someone asked about my projects (The Just Rocket Science Show, Instant Equation, etc.), it took way too long to get them to the right link. Typing URLs on the spot is awkward, Linktree pages are slow, and I really didn’t want to carry business cards. One day I tried putting a QR code to my podcast on my phone’s lock screen. Whenever I met someone, I’d just wake my phone, they’d scan, and they were on the channel in seconds. People kept commenting on how fast and clean that interaction was – and a bunch of folks asked how they could do the same thing for their own products. The first version was literally me hacking together QR codes and wallpapers in Canva. It worked, but it was clunky and not repeatable. QR Canvas is the “make this a real tool” version: a tiny web app that lets you generate a clean lock-screen wallpaper with a clear call to action and a scannable QR in under a minute. Since then I’ve iterated on things like layout, legibility, and defaults so it just works without design skills. My hope is that QR Canvas becomes an easy way for indie founders, creators, and small teams to turn IRL conversations into visits, signups, and listeners in under five seconds.
