QR codes

Open a link on your phone without typing it, from the terminal or the dashboard.

In the terminal

ouicu share and ouicu deploy draw the link as a QR code under it. Point your phone's camera at it to open the link. It's black on white whatever your terminal's colours, so it scans on a dark theme too.

It's left out when:

  • you add --no-qr,
  • you add --json,
  • the output goes to a file or another program, not a terminal,
  • NO_COLOR is set, since without colours a dark terminal would show the code inverted.
ouicu share 3000 --no-qr

On the dashboard

On the Shares page, the QR code button by each live share and uploaded site shows its code. It's handy for passing a phone around in a meeting.

What the phone shows

The same as any browser. On Free, that means the short notice from ouicu first, then your page. A link behind a password or for invited people asks on the phone too.
