About the sms QR code
An SMS QR code uses the SMSTO: scheme that phones read to start a new text message. When scanned, the messaging app opens with your number filled in and, if you set one, a pre-written message - the person just hits send. That makes it great for keyword opt-ins ("Scan to text JOIN"), support shortcuts and feedback requests. The code is static and generated entirely in your browser, so it never expires and nothing tracks who scans it. Style it and export a clean SVG or PNG.
