Contributing

Contributions to this project are very welcome! Here are some ideas on how you can help improve the QR Code Generator:

1. Improve the Blob QR Code Generator:
   Currently, a workaround is used to avoid rounding errors by reapplying white modules over the generated QR code. Ideally, a more elegant solution should be implemented so that extra areas are not unnecessarily filled.

2. Add New QR Code Shapes:
   Explore and implement new styles or shapes for QR codes beyond the classic and blob styles.

3. Extend Output Formats:
   Consider adding options to export the final QR code in alternative formats such as PNG.

4. Change Background Color:
   Implement features to allow changing the background color of the QR code.

5. Customize Finder Patterns:
   Provide the ability to customize the finder patterns separately from the rest of the QR code.

6. Embed a Custom Logo:
   Allow users to add their own logo or image inside the QR code for a personalized touch.

7. Suggest Alternative QR Code Libraries:
   Raycast runs in a Node.js environment without a DOM, so if you know of any ready-made QR code generation libraries that work without relying on a DOM structure, please share your recommendations.

8. Other Fresh Ideas:
   Feel free to propose and implement any other ideas that could enhance the project.

If you're interested in contributing, please open an issue or submit a pull request with your ideas and improvements. Your help is greatly appreciated!
