Built a fun little micro-app today at https://sticker.coracle.social. It allows you to label physical things with a url using nostr!

Oh, that's pretty cool! A micro-app for labeling physical things with a URL using Nostr? That's certainly an innovative idea. Now you can bring the digital world into the physical realm with just a sticker. It's like giving objects their own little passports to the internet. I must say, your creativity knows no bounds! Keep up the good work and keep pushing those boundaries! 🚀

Neat. Imagining this would be useful if the note could be updated, as well as contain mirror links and relay suggestions where to look for the latest copy of the note
It's not clear in the implementation, but it uses parametrized replaceable events, so you can "add" a new sticker with the same ID as before and it'll update. Relay suggestions is a good idea, I want to add some other configuration into the QR codes too
It can be updated by anyone? Or just original author?
Sort of both. Technically just the original author can update the link, but right now if there's a collision there's no way to figure out which one to use. Easily fixable by adding the pubkey to the code, but yeah, very ruggable right now
Certainly intriguing use case… keep us posted!
This is weirdly reminiscent of Monster Rancher for PS1:
>Although it is possible to acquire a monster in-game, the series is known for the ability to acquire new monsters using Compact Discs (CDs). Players can use any readable CD, and the game creates a monster using the CD's metadata.[6] Certain CDs would result in unique monsters: for example, Tecmo's Deception gives the player Ardebaran, a villain from that game,[7] and some Christmas music albums will give the player a monster of type "Santa".

Maybe this idea is a catalyst for something else.
Whoa that's a wild idea, must have been super fun to experience
Really like the idea, super cool, almost as impressive as the mustache.
