Hi! I wasn't sure where to post this, so feel free to move it 
I'm trying to figure out some stuff relating to QR codes. I recently came across a service called stkr.it, which from what I can tell sells you pre-made QR codes that you can reprogram with your own link after purchase. It looks like you can either buy them 'pre-installed', so to speak, on a variety of finished products, like journals where they're printed on the pages, or they're sold separately through the site so you can print them off and put them on whatever you like (say, on your granny's antique rocking chair, so you can attach a video of her sitting in it and relating the story of how she came to own the chair). At least that's what I think, but you should probably have a look at the site yourself because my whole question kind of hinges on how well I've understood how it works
Okay, so you checked it over?
Right then. Looking at this thing, I'm getting all sorts of bright ideas lol, but I'm not too excited at the prospect of being tied into their app - that stuff has a way of ending in tears when the company decides to do a big redesign a la Evernote, changes hands, decides to charge for access, or whatever else.
So, I'm wondering: wouldn't it be exactly the same to make up a bunch of codes on any QR code generator, except instead of doing a 'static' QR code, where it's tied to a specific URL, (eg, https://forums.macrumors.com), you use a 'dynamic' QR code, so you get a redirect link that you can later reset to go anywhere else you would like? (I'm going by what these guys are saying on their page about static vs dynamic QR codes). Wouldn't the end result be exactly the same as using stkr.it, but without being tied to their app?
Does that make sense? I'm sorry if I'm saying something simple in a convoluted manner - I'm not really familiar with these things, I'm just feeling my way around pretty much
What do you think?
