How to Create a Simple One-Click Website with QR Code?
Asked by
CuriousCat89
I'm trying to set up a straightforward website for a social experiment. The idea is to have a web page that can be accessed via a QR code, featuring just a button. Once someone clicks the button, it becomes inactive, and I want the page to display how many times the button has been pressed. How difficult is it to create this? Would it be easy to find someone to help build it?

I actually made a similar site: Electosense.com. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done!

Just so you know, making sure users can only click the button once is tricky. Methods like cookies can fail, and IPs change, so nothing's perfect.
OneTimeButton: Yeah, but it's about trusting people to just hit it once and move on, right?

I could do it for around $250, but that might be way too high for something simple like this.
FrugalFinder: Honestly, that's quite a bit for this kind of project. Might be overkill!
MoneyMentor: You could probably find someone for cheaper if you shop around.

One approach is to use Flask for this project. You can ask GPT to generate a basic website structure using HTML and Flask. But keep in mind that for a simple task like this, vanilla JS might be easier for someone new to coding.
WebWizard: Right? Flask seems overkill for a simple button project. Just using local storage with JS will be way more straightforward!
SimplicitySeeker: Totally agree! Remove the complexity and just focus on getting it up and running.

Setting this up isn't too complicated, especially with the help of chat GPT! You could find guides that walk you through it step by step. It's pretty much straightforward if you take the time to do some research.
HelpfulHannah: Totally! Just give it a shot and you’ll see.
