I have a QR code sticker at my car’s window. Whenever someone wants to contact me, he can just scan the QR code and directly enter into a chat with me, e.g. to inform me that I’m parking in a restricted place, something is wrong with my car or whatever. Both participants in the chat (you and the other person) stay anonymous, unlike when using Whatsapp, Telegram or similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, you could hand out such QR code stickers or small printouts to anyone with whom you want to start a chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does this work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is based on my chat website c99.chat<\/a>, which allows browser-based chatting without registration, App install, download etc. Just open c99.chat<\/a> and start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can share the chat site’s URL via the Share <\/i> icon. Just copy the QR code and print it, maybe with a statement such as “Please scan this code to contact me!” or similar…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it!<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This QR code points to (a simpler version of) the chat site, where users can enter text messages or audio recordings. Easy, isn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the chat settings (click on the double left arrow <\/i> icon, then settings <\/i> icon) you can change some settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the notification settings (click on the <\/i> icon in the chat) you can configure email notification; state your email address, confirm it and then either use an App such as Pushover<\/a> or configure the email app on your mobile device such that emails from this service trigger a push notification. In Gmail you need to set a label for emails from “c99@c99.chat” and then follow this instruction.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you set the <\/i> icon to ‘On’, you will always receive an email when there is a new chat entry; otherwise only for the first entry after you left the site; then you have to visit c99.chat<\/a> again before new emails will be sent (this prevents email flooding if you have many open and active chats).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course you can create as many of these chats as you like…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
