Hey Indie Hackers 👋
I’m Stefan, a solo builder working on Qrious, a modern QR code generator for businesses, creators, restaurants, marketers, and agencies.
I started building Qrious because QR codes are used everywhere, but many QR code tools still feel outdated, cluttered, or too complicated for simple business use cases.
People use QR codes for menus, flyers, packaging, business cards, events, social media, ads, and client projects. But most tools focus only on generating the code, not on making the experience feel clean, fast, and brand-friendly.
With Qrious, my goal is to make QR code creation simple and modern. Users should be able to create beautiful QR codes in seconds, customize them, manage them easily, and eventually track performance with analytics.
Right now, the product is still early. I’m mainly focused on validating the idea, improving the landing page, and understanding what features people actually need.
I’d love feedback on:
Is the landing page clear?
Would you use this for your business or a client project?
What feature would make this more useful?
Are dynamic QR codes and analytics important to you?
Here’s the product: https://www.qrious.now/
Stefan, I ran Qrious through PagePulse because QR tools are crowded, so the landing page has to explain the "modern/business-grade" difference very quickly.
A few things stood out:
- Add 'Cancel anytime. No credit card required.' directly beneath the hero CTA — zero-effort trust signal that directly reduces the #1 conversion objection
- Remove the secondary 'See Qrious in action' button from the hero and convert it to a text link — eliminates CTA competition with one line of CSS
- Add a social proof number beneath the hero headline (e.g. '10,000+ businesses trust Qrious') — can be added in under 30 minutes and immediately satisfies trust level 1
My main read: the page should make the use cases concrete earlier — menus, files, campaigns, client work — and show why this is better than a basic free QR generator.
Hope useful — ping me once you've made changes and I'll re-run it
One thing I'd test is leading with the outcome instead of the tool. Most businesses don't wake up thinking they need a QR code generator—they want to update a menu without reprinting it, track a campaign, or change a destination after something's already in customers' hands. That use case might be an even stronger entry point than "modern QR code generator."
Thank you Aryan , it is a very good tip and I'll test it !
Glad it was useful.
Reading your reply, I think there's one business decision sitting underneath that change which becomes much more significant over time, but it's probably too much to unpack properly in a thread.
Happy to explain what I mean if it's useful. What's the best email to reach you on?

Just sent it over.
I didn't think a thread would do the reasoning behind it justice.
Curious what you think after you've had a chance to read it.
