📣 We just released version 1.14.0 of STRICH, our Barcode Scanning SDK for web apps. This release adds support for the rectangular Data Matrix variants defined in ISO/IEC 16022, and other small but notable improvements. https://lnkd.in/emxbQBin
One of the reasons I like working on my product is that it's rooted in the physical world: to test it, you have to go out into the field. But that also means that occasionally I'm a weirdo that pauses in the aisle of a grocery store to scan barcodes with no apparent intention. The store manager confronted and asked me what the hell I was doing scanning *their* pallets. I explained that I'm a software developer and I'm testing these codes, they're very interesting – rectangular variants of ISO/IEC 16022 Data Matrix! It was a pleasant, if one-sided conversation.
