QR reading support is now added to Megapixels :D
@librefree It's mainly useful for OTP codes :)
@martijnbraam @librefree The most common use of a QR code reader for me is to use my country's contact tracing system 
(It builds a timeline linked to the person's identity, which is terrible for privacy, but that's what we got.)
@martijnbraam @librefree And used for swiss payment bills. They come now with a QR-Code showing the details of the payment. So I might port my (python3) application to the pinephone ! Just showing the bill to the phone and enter the payment details in SQLite DB without typing !👆 😃
@martijnbraam have been following your blog on your work on Megapixels, amazing work!
@martijnbraam it's great! but it seems to leak a lot of memory at present--see patch:

@martijnbraam great, working on #pinePhone #manjaroARM.
I hope there will be a system to configure the handling of different QR code types (vcard, 2FA, …)
Thanks.
@martijnbraam yes, they update the megapixel yesterday to 0.15.0

@martijnbraam Nice!
It would be cool if the UI was asynchronous since I as a handicapped user can only hold the phone still xor tap on the screen.
@martijnbraam I love it! I never use the feature, but glad it's available.
