Hey! I’m Derek the creator of Outlinx. Here's a quick story about how Outlinx started. 5 or 6 years ago I wanted to learn how to brew the perfect cup of coffee. I had a bunch of gear, I watched lots of YouTube videos, and made many cups of coffee. If you’ve ever really tried to brew a good cup of coffee at home then you know the details matter.
While having fun experimenting, I kept some notes in a notebook, and searched for other things on Google. I'm pretty organized, but I still found myself looking for my notes over and over again! One day I thought to myself “I wish I could just scan my coffee grinder and keep all the things I need to remember there.” That's when the idea of making QR codes that people could interact with using a mobile app popped into my head.
At first I thought the concept was pretty silly and no one would actually want to use something like that. But I couldn't get the idea out of my head. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized there could be a lot of uses for something like this! After thinking about it for a couple years, I eventually decided I had to pursue it. I used money I saved up to fund my efforts. I started to build a product that would simply allow me to make digital note pages and link them to QR code stickers. I called it Outlinx, because they’re links to digital information out in the real world.
