Better placement

Printed and digital material can point directly to the GitHub profile, repository, issue, pull request, or release.

Campaign friendly

Each page, post, profile, or offer can have its own QR code.

Print ready

SVG output keeps the QR code sharp on cards, signs, labels, and posters.
