It’s Day 5 of 12 Days of Svelte Apps 🎄

If you’ve never used QR codes beyond restaurant menus, here’s a holiday twist: QR gift tags.
Instead of writing a long URL on a tag (or texting it later), you generate a QR once, download it, and print it.
What it can generate
The app includes three quick modes:
- Text/URL: any message or link
- Contact Card: generate a vCard-style QR for sharing contact details
- Social Links: bundle multiple links into one QR payload
3 holiday uses (that feel a little magical)
1) Video greeting tag: link a short "Merry Christmas" video.
2) Playlist gift: link a Spotify/Apple playlist.
3) Photo album: link a shared album.
Bonus idea: add a QR to a “coupon” gift ("One free coffee", "Movie night", "Car wash") and link it to a note or a digital card.
Quick how-to
- Open the app
- Pick Text/URL, Contact Card, or Social Links
- Enter your info
- Download the QR code image
- Print it small and tape it to a tag 🎁
Generate → download → print. That’s it.
