No need to be rude, too! I think there are two issues. One is knowing what a QR 
code is. The other is knowing how to use your software to build a QR code. And 
there is a third as always and that is communication. 

So let me rephrase it. It's cool you did this piece of software. All of your 
potential users would appreciate if it would come with simple phrase about what 
it is (even if it is obvious) and how you can use it (code example is fine). 

I don't want to critize and i don't know what Eliot exactly means but i had the 
feeling that my appreciation for your software was immediately compensated by 
the lack of context.
