This scratches an itch I experience most months. When you get a "super handy QR Code" from a service, like Asos, Vinted and others that means you have to physically go to a post office to post your parcel. About ten years ago this was revolutionary convenience, but now it's a frustration.

If you're like me you use Royal Mail's collection service to ship most of your parcels/returns from home, and post offices are open for ridiculously narrow times of day these days. Royal Mail don't provide an online facility to create a label from these in-person QR codes, so I built one instead.

Behold, Citizen - Prince of Post! https://princeofpost.com

I had some fun designing this, and it's something that I'll genuinely use all the time, so I thought I'd share it for others with this problem too. I couldn't find any prior art, but if you want to ruin my day please do tell me about anywhere that does this already :-)
