BezahlBrudi
In an effort to reduce the usage of Paypal, I created this simple web app. It can generate GiroCodes that can be used to easily transfer money between friends by showing a QR code that can be scanned by most banking apps. It will import all necessary infos for a normal SEPA bank transfer. No third parties involved, only the banks of the people who want to exchange money.
How to use
Simple visit the webpage under BezahlBrudi.jetzt, and put in your details. The QR code will be generated automatically. You can choose to save your details in your browsers local storage, so you don't have to input your bank details every time.
Installation
BezahlBrudi is a PWA that can be installed on your phone. It is a little different depending on the Browser and your OS.

Data privacy
The web app doesn't store any data of the sender, the receiver or the transaction outside of your machine. Everything runs locally in your browser. The RememberMe function uses your browsers local storage, so it's not even using cookies.
