Handling products that don't have a barcode (by design or don't have a barcode anymore)

  • Creating a reusable open object graph
  • Allow users/apps to list objects that don’t have a barcode (packaging thrown away), or even that might be decades old (and predate the barcode)
  • Generate a private QR-code unique to the product you own
  • Allow association of this QR-Code with a category (to ensure a minimum experience, helped by AI categorization)
  • Allow association of this QRCode with a barcode, giving extra-benefits for the users
