[Thali-talk] QR codes

[Michael Rogers]

OK, proof-of-concept code is here:
https://code.briarproject.org/akwizgran/qr-code-test

I've only tried it on two phones so far, but it seems pretty usable. Let

Cheers,
Michael

P.S. Oh, my, God, the Android camera API is horrible.

If you can get a super great reader that 'just works' then maybe it would work? We didn't find such a reader but that doesn't argue that it couldn't exist. If it does then we'll happily use it too! :)
