[Power Apps] Did you know that on the official Power Apps user forum, there is also a Samples section? Neither did we 😉 And you can find some very interesting examples there. For example like this: Barcode – QR Code Generator – Power Platform Community (microsoft.com). If you need a QR Code generator, we strongly recommend it. If not, it is still worth browsing the resources of this repository.
