Hey, this is John from SparkLaunch, and I wanted to share a little of what we're up to this week.
We finished the implementation and error handling of the tiny URLs, QR codes, and campaigns for lead captures.
The QR code package that I'm using was a little weird when we wanted to add a logo with a transparent background. I learned that there's actually redundancy built into the QR code structure so it's okay that it overlaps; however, it looks bad. So I decided to overlay the logo with the background color of the entire QR code before embedding it onto the QR code. I think it looks much better this way.
Have a great rest of your day and let us know what you're building too.
