      Cool UX from Japan: a popular restaurant with no reservations took our number to call us when we’re ready and printed a receipt with a QR code for real time updates on our place in line

      Underrated how much web and SMS / call primitives still compose well on smartphones. Everyone wants to be on home screen but nobody going to install your app for this; QR code to no-auth web app solves that problem

          I suppose reading a QR code is not typically considered a web primitive but we’ve been doing it here since late 90s so.

          I once wrote a mental health tool where the entire interface was just sms commands, so I didn't have to learn app dev It really helped me for a long time.

          That's awesome! Have you ever been to those restaurants where you scan the QR code on the table, and in WeChat an app pops up that lets you view the menu, order, and pay without actually needing someone to come over or wait in line at the counter?

          Yup, and not only will no one install that app, but *any* app anymore. In hindsight, the homescreen is just a semi-curatable web portal, and once a year a new service (which happens to be in the form of an app) comes along that garners meaningful downloads.
