Dan want's it for both RP and MVC. Maybe I can start out with just RP.

I asked because the issue was decked out with Blazor labels, and it looked like it was opened from the Blazor article. No worries ... I see that you updated the labeling.

I'm going to take myself off of this now. The Blazor work has been done, and the content is live ...

AFAICT, the only significant change here would be just to use a different JS library. The one used here, which is the one that I started with for Blazor, isn't really supported by its maintainer. On the Blazor side, we're able to use a .NET lib with standalone WASM (and of course, the server-side Blazor article generates the QR code server-side). Here, it looks like the article will stick with a JS-based approach and lib. The one that I was going to use for Blazor via JS is nimiq/qr-creator. Maybe that one is better here, maybe not.
