"qroxy" name is originated from concatenating "qr code" and "proxy" words, it will hopefully give idea of the project overview. In plain English, it is a dynamic QR code generator REST API with a connected mongoDB to store routes.
A QR code stands for ‘Quick Response Code’ and it is a 2-dimensional barcode type invented by Denso Wave in 1994.
Today, QR codes are used widely in different business sectors to give a digital dimension to a product, an item, billboards, posters, or flyers that leads to a URL. QR codes have two types: Static QR code and Dynamic QR code.
Dynamic QR Code is an editable QR code which enables you to redirect the URL to another URL even after printing. Since you are redirecting the URL you can capture and store precious user data.
git clone https://github.com/mhrsntrk/qroxy.git

yarn
When you generate your first entry it will be under qroxy database and qrcode collection.

There is a Dockerfile on the repo, you can use it to deploy qroxy anywhere you like, I personally use Caprover.
