Quick post. Trying to keep these short: a Friday note about what shipped, what didn't, and a question from the inbox.
What shipped
The big one this week: og:image now renders on every page. Sounds boring — until you realize Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram all show a giant white square instead of the link preview if it's missing. We had been silently broken on every social share for three weeks. Fixed and confirmed across home, landing pages, hub, and blog posts.
We also pushed a smaller but visible change: footer social icons now show YouTube and TikTok next to X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram. Same handle on every platform: qrollinghq. If you've subscribed to one of them, thanks for sticking with us through the rebrand notifications.
What got cut
We were sitting on translated meta titles for Azerbaijani and Turkish. Both were going to launch this month. We pulled them. Not because the translations were bad, but because the language switcher on the site didn't surface them in a way real users would ever see, so we'd have shipped the cost of translation with none of the benefit. Putting that work on hold until we redesign the locale switcher.
One user question
"Can I print the QR on a coffee cup sleeve without it cracking when the cup gets wet?"
Yes, and the answer has nothing to do with QRolling. Three rules: matte finish (not glossy; glare breaks scans), at least 2.5cm × 2.5cm at print, and ask your print shop for water-resistant ink (most cup sleeves use it by default but worth confirming). The QR pattern itself can lose ~30% of its modules and still scan. What kills it is glare and bend creases, not water.
What's queued
Russian body translations for the nine main landing pages — hopefully landing next week if the editor signs off. After that we'll probably go back to the help center, which still has gaps in the troubleshooting section.
That's it. Back to building. — Rahman
