QR code to allow iOS devices to easily connect to your wifi network

Today's project: This is a web page that allows you to create a QR code that you can print out and put somewhere in your house.

If you enable geofencing and someone gets a hold of the QR code or URL that it links to, it won't work unless their browser reports their location within 1/2 mile of the original location where you created the QR code. http://www.getonmywifi.com (Yes, you will be trusting me with…

    I travel and work remotely a lot. Every new place—hotels, cafes, coworking spaces—means dealing with a new WiFi network. Sometimes there's a QR code, which is convenient, but usually, it's a hassle: manually finding the right SSID (especially frustrating when hotels have one SSID per room), then typing long, error-prone passwords. To simplify this, I made a small Android app called Wify. It uses your phone's camera to capture WiFi details (network name and password) from printed text, then generates a QR code right on your screen.

    I built an app to use a QR code as my doorbell2024 · dingdongdoorbell.com · ▲140

    I didn’t have a doorbell before (multiple reasons) and my house feels unwelcoming without one. So I built a doorbell app that uses a QR code - visitors scan the QR code to ring the doorbell and I get notified on my phone. Here is an example of the QR code I have on my door. You can scan it and say hello: https://www.thebacklog.net/img/2024/10/show-hn.png This was also a great excuse to build my first app for Android and iPhone. I’d love to get some feedback before I spend more time polishing the app. Please try it out and feel free to ask me any questions! No…
