🎉 A tribute to the inventor of QR codes
QR Code Day is celebrated on August 8, the birthday of Masahiro Hara, the Japanese engineer who invented the QR code in 1994. His creation paved the way for instant, effortless connections. Today, QR codes are everywhere. And with QRCodeKIT’s dynamic twist, they’re smarter than ever.
