Max Liao

Solo founder of OwnQR (ownqrcode.com) — $15 one-time payment for a lifetime dynamic QR code generator. No subscriptions, no monthly fees. 22 paid customers since March 2026 (mostly small shop owners, IG creators, and solo service providers). Built it because I was tired of QR code services charging $5-50/month to keep printed codes working. Tech: Next.js · Cloudflare Workers · Supabase. 12-language interface. Sub-100ms global redirects. Vancouver, BC.
