  This QR code link[1] is super annoying. The QR code is tiny and the whole page doesn't seem to honor browser zoom settings.

  It also appears that both QR codes link to the App Store.

  They're going the side-loading route because they risk being banned or because of breaking Google Play policies?

  Border wall today, firewall tomorrow. I hate it and it's inevitable.
