Hi! Thanks so much for the PR!

I'm not in favor of this approach for two reasons:

1. It creates noise on the user's file system
2. The URL is not stable -- it will change if the user's IP address changes or if some process takes port 19000 or 19001, which may cause confusion especially if a user accidentally checks the PNG into git.

I think it'll be good to document troubleshooting and work on improving the reliability of the QR code that's displayed, but I don't want to write images to disk to do so.

Hey, thanks for the explanation!

Reason 2. made more sense to me. 🤔 That should have been my epiphany.

I'll think as to how the reliability of the QR code can be enhanced.
