Show HN: NoiR Code – because QR sounds similar to "noir"

Hello!

I've vibecoded this little project just because it was fun. It's far not as optimized and stable as the QR code, but hey - it looks nice!

Cute, QR codes are pretty ugly. Can you make it work with various color schemes?

I'd call it Code NoiR.

Yes, it's possible to implement different color schemes, but the more colors used to encode the data, the harder it is to decode. QR wins here - it's well optimized with only two colors, black and white.

You can have any colour you like as long as it is noir.

nice idea. Most QR experiments make things worse for no reason, this one at least trades reliability for looks on purpose. Fun project.
