Payme, a library and CLI to generate QR codes for SEPA payments
I built this library and tool several years ago. Some event where I was a co-organizer needed pre-payment for the orders, and to make this easy without going the path of an online payment service, I sent automatic mails with payment QR codes included. The CLI also (by default) generates QR codes in the terminal, which I use often when an invoice needs to be paid: copy all necessary fields as CLI flags, generate the QR in the terminal, scan with the phone, double check everything and go! Maybe paying should not be this easy...

In plain words
Payme is a library and command-line tool that generates QR codes for SEPA bank payments. It allows users to create payment QR codes programmatically or via terminal commands, eliminating the need for third-party payment services. The tool displays QR codes directly in the terminal, making it simple to scan and pay invoices by entering payment details as command flags. It was built to streamline payment collection for events and invoicing workflows.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
