the prompt
Curated promptBuild 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
Can AI replace QR Tiger?
Likely for the core workflow, based on an editorial catalog judgment. This entry is not a verified build yet; use the prompt as a starting point and validate the result against your own acceptance criteria.
How much does QR Tiger cost?
QR Tiger is listed at about $15/month (paid plan, checked 2026-07-29), or $180 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.
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?
Yes — qr-code-styling (the styling library that does the heavy lifting). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
