Hi everyone!

I recently created a user-friendly WiFi portal that runs on my private LAN. The goal was to provide my family with quick access to WiFi information without them needing to ask me for it. After searching for a similar solution and not finding one, I decided to build it myself!

Some of the key features:

  • Login info hidden unless you explicitly click on it.
  • Generates QR code for your use.
  • Mobile and PWA support.
  • Tags to help identify when to use each network.

I'm not a web developer, so I would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on how to improve the app. Thanks for your support!

So guests use their phone data to access a publicly available list of WiFi credentials and then use that to connect to your home network????

    You pull it up on another phone.

    The owner pulls it up on THEIR phone, so you can just have the guest scan the QR code.

    Edit: or my usecase would be to put it on a tablet that I have on a stand near the front door.

    My LineageOS phone already has a "share WiFi" feature that displays a QR code as well as the SSID and passcode I thought this was standard on all modern phones

    My phone has that too... but only for the signed in network. Not for other networks that are saved on the device. I have a guest network that I shove guests on that have some restrictions (blocked from homelab network for the most part). I would need to swap to that network myself then click share...
