I just read about semacodes over at KuiperCliff >. Semacodes are a really interesting technology that lets you convert a URL into an image that can be read by camera-enabled mobile phones.

There are all sorts of projects based on the technology; the most interesting of which I think is Semapedia >, which generates these things for Wikipedia > URLs that you can then affix to physical objects.

Very cool stuff.

For 29.5540 years I've been creating ad-free technical tutorials and essays here. 3,047 pieces and counting.

It's a one-person effort that's also my livelihood. If it makes your day easier or more pleasant in any way, please consider supporting the work with a monthly or one-time donation.

It helps me make more content, and is deeply appreciated as well. 🫶🏼
