Project spec (open for debate)

Hey guys, what do you think of the thought process?

[Serpent27]

Some things to consider doing:

• Use qrcode library
  • Reduces dependencies
  • Provides a convenient CLI tool, can pipe data via stdin
  • Can output to tty via block characters
• Use framebuffers to display QR codes. Requires one of:
  • micropython
    • Requires use of micropython instead of CPython
  • pygame
    • Requires pygame, and all pygame dependencies

@Serpent27 Great suggestion for qrcode! Will have a look at your PR.

I stumbled upon https://github.com/godspeed1989/fbv. Looks like a promising library to display images to the framebuffer.

I opened an issue asking if it's possible to feed the image via stdin but haven't heard back.

Something like echo "essence wisdom demise insane vital kitchen pet swarm robust warfare innocent dolphin" | gpg --s2k-mode 3 --s2k-count 65011712 --s2k-digest-algo sha512 --cipher-algo AES256 --symmetric --armor | fbv -ai would be amazing!
