Friends of mine do events. They need a small app to scan tickets to make sure people who come with pre-sale tickets don't use copies from friends. Right now they simply write down all the ticket numbers manually, but this takes too much time.

I'm building it as a web app with Preact and Bootstrap.

I found a JS library that scans QR-codes and barcodes with a smartphone camera, which works kinda okay, but it's a bit slow on barcodes.

For the backend, I'm currently looking to deploy on IPFS or Areweave (whatever works best) and a distributed database, probably gonna use OrbitDB or PouchDB/CouchDB.
