The Strange Relationship: Humans vs QR Codes
The relationship between humans and QR codes is like eating chocolate cake on a diet. You’re tempted to have a taste, but you’re not sure where that first bite will take you, so you put down the fork before you lose self-control. That said, the real reason most of us hesitate to scan QR codes because they usually end up being an ad in disguise that will take you somewhere to buy something. Scanning that QR code next to the brand’s logo does nothing to benefit you without trying to take some of you($$$) with it.
So the question is, can QR codes actually work to connect people rather than benefit from people?
Of course they can.
The app is called Lynxs.
Tedious username exchange has now become a thing of the past
Lynxs solves a problem that many of us face. You meet a new person, and you want to note their phone number or follow them on their 6 different social medias. Unfortunately, this requires you to go into each app individually and add them.
With Lynxs, however, all of that awkwardness vanishes. You enter your contact information, link up your networking accounts, and Lynxs generates your personal scannable QR code. When you scan your friend’s QR code, their profile is added to a native contact list called My Lynxs.
But are you really comfortable with sharing that much information?
You may wonder, what if I don’t want to share my party-filled snapchat with a recruiter? You don’t have to! Lynxs allows you to choose which accounts you want in your QR code. Your recruiter can only have access to your professional accounts (LinkedIn, Github), your friends can have access to your social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat), and your relatives from across the country can communicate with you through video (Skype). There are so many ways to get creative and find combinations that suit your needs!
Adapt to your situation
You can tap any one of the icons on your profile to toggle them on/off. As soon you make changes, you will be given the option to update your current QR code with the changes you have made. This is where you can get creative and give limited access to specific people.
“We have an expert team and we have created Lynxs with so many unique features. The ability to allow users to adapt their QR code to their desired situation is truly remarkable.”
