The history of Qrixy.me
Stephan HoelscherIf there is a need...
Some time ago my wife asked me if I'm able to convert an URL into a QR code. So I wrote a small web app which can handle it. I uploaded it on Github and forgot about it.
...until a friend from my local boulder gym told me about his difficulties to create a QR code for his small chalk bag manufactory which he can put on stickers - btw shout out for Joshi - if you are looking for a handmade, high quality cahlk bag, than check out Elbgrip on Instagram! But I remembered for my little web app and helped him.
But the tool was ugly and not easy to use. So I decided to use my knowledge, craft a simple, beautiful web app and publish it. Qrixy was born. If you want to check it out...
Just simple app to convert URLs in QR codes. If you need a fast and easy way to create QR codes for websites, events, or any other links, give Qrixy a try!
Feedback is welcome - I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Born in 1981 in Ludwigsfelde, Germany, I grew up in a working-class family and was always encouraged to be curious and seek out new experiences. During my 11th school year, my teacher introduced me to Java programming and I discovered a passion for software development. After finishing high school, I started studying computer science at the University of Potsdam but dropped out before completing my degree. Because of my wife I went on to Hamburg to work for several software development companies, eventually restarting my studies in 2010 in Business Informatics and earning my bachelor's degree in early 2015. One of my proudest professional achievements was setting up a payment gateway for some large clients in the German public transportation market. On private software development I challenged myself with a personal project, building an app to fill a gap in Facebook Pages post list feature. I believe that the future of software development lies in the use of AI and I want to stay ahead of the curve by being an early adopter of these new tools. If others asks me about a statement in the field I want to encourage them always to be curious, question patterns, and never be afraid of change.
