## Description
Pawpyrus is a minimalist open-source paper data storage based on QR codes and ArUco.
It generates a PDF from any small-sized binary file (recommended size <100kb).
Further, the paper data storage can be scanned and decoded (recommended resolution 300dpi).
It can be useful if you need to backup data on paper:
* Encryption keys (e.g. [GnuPG](https://gnupg.org))
* File-based password databases (e.g. [KeePassXC](https://keepassxc.org))
* Cryptocurrency wallets
## Usage
**NOTE:** Backward compatibility is not provided yet.
Encoder:
```bash
pawpyrus Encode -n "Description" -i "input.file" -o "output.pdf"
```
Also, pawpyrus can read data from stdin.
For example, encoding GPG public keys:
```bash
gpg --export 0xDEADBEEF | pawpyrus Encode -n "My pubkey" -i - -o "my-pubkey.pdf"
```
Decoder:
```bash
pawpyrus Decode -i "scan1.jpg" "scan2.png" "scan3.jpg" "masked/too/*.png" -o "output.file"
```
## Data Format
Pawpyrus uses a custom alphanumeric encoding, which is designed to store information in QR code effectively.
For now, that makes 4.3kb per A4 page (pixel size 0.6 mm).
## Got a Trouble?
**QR and ArUco detectors may fail on one or several blocks.**
The situation is totally normal, although uncomfortable.
I fixed it for now, with two detectors ([opencv](https://github.com/opencv/opencv-python) and [pyzbar](https://github.com/NaturalHistoryMuseum/pyzbar)) instead of one, but the bug may reappear in some circumstances.
That's why I implemented Debug Mode:
```bash
pawpyrus Decode -d "debug_dir" -i "scan1.jpg" "scan2.jpg" "scan3.jpg" -o "output.file"
```
With Debug Mode, you can inspect undetected QR codes, read them manually with any device you have, and create a file with text blocks which can be processed as well:
```bash
pawpyrus Decode "scan1.jpg" "scan2.jpg" "scan3.jpg" -t "unrecognized_codes.txt" -o "output.file"
```
