I was so curious to see how the payment would work...I'm curious is there any way to make payment work without a browser? Is it impossible for any reason or just complex?
Well, it's certainly possible, as the guys over at terminal.shop let you enter payment information via SSH. :)
But on the one hand we don't want to handle credit card information _at all_. And then, stripe does not let you give them credit card data directly – at least in the default workflow.
(And we can offer alternative payment methods offered by stripe (e.g. Apple Pay, SEPA direct debit, …) much more naturally than what would be possible in the terminal.)
same here. newer saw such a fleshed-out ssh thingy. i just HAD to buy it. a bit weird to see this story on the frontpage now, just ordered tons of techy stickers from AliExpress two days ago...
i must say that the shopping experience on stickr.shop is way better than Ali, haha.
designer here. thanks for the feedback. i've updated the serif in `l` after an issue raised the possibility of ambiguity with `1`. alas, that would mean i'd need to regenerate all the images, which i haven't done yet.
i didn't produce a variant for the `l` serif, please check issue #8. if you prefer the variant, please open an issue. can you elaborate on the kerning point, preferably there also?
The Ubiquity hardware might be good, but the firmware is so shit, especially for IPv6, that I had to replace it with OpenWRT to get it to work (offer IPv6 prefixes for delegation).
Wouldn't it have been much more sensible to have a lowercase version of alphanumerics in the QR code standard? Almost all URLs are lowercase, and even if the have capitalised parts, in most cases they're case-insensitive.
QR codes were created for labelling automotive parts, not for URLs. Part numbers are usually uppercase alphanumeric, with a few punctuation characters.
QR codes existed for over a decade before smartphones brought them into the mainstream. They're high density replacements for barcodes, which are uppercase by convention (or in some cases like Code 39, only support uppercase). URLs in QR codes are a later innovation.
