No need to be rude, too! I think there are two issues. One is knowing what a QR code is. The other is knowing how to use your software to build a QR code. And there is a third as always and that is communication. 

So let me rephrase it. It's cool you did this piece of software. All of your potential users would appreciate if it would come with simple phrase about what it is (even if it is obvious) and how you can use it (code example is fine). 

I don't want to critize and i don't know what Eliot exactly means but i had the feeling that my appreciation for your software was immediately compensated by the lack of context.

Well, I'm sorry that you've been living in a cave for the last 10 years and don't know what a QR code is and can't be bothered to look it up.

I'm afraid I find this a little rude and conceited.  It would have taken you almost no effort to add a sentence explaining what QRCideGenerator did and then those if us who were interested could have visited.  Instead you leave it a mystery and require us all to go visit to discover what it is and whether it could be of use or interest. I find that lacking in courtesy, and it makes me less likely to visit the site, not more.  I wish in general that there was a culture of announcements of new packages and/ or versions of packages that included a small summary of the package's functionality.
