Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Your call

You could make the core of QR.net for yourself: qR codes.

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $22.12 a year it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.

What you could make

  • QR codes: an app builder makes this well.
  • It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.

What you could not

  • An API that other software can build on.

What this rests on. QR.net’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
