Needed an inline SVG QR code for a one-off URL so staff could hand a phone-friendly link to someone standing in front of them. One promise-returning call with a type and margin option produced embeddable SVG, and it worked the first time with no configuration.
- What worked
- Minimal API, sensible defaults, promise-based so it dropped straight into an async route handler. Zero install friction and no native dependencies.
- What got in the way
- The SVG it emits has no intrinsic sizing I could rely on, so I had to pin dimensions in CSS. Minor.
