Comment (by eighthave):

 One thing to keep in mind when encoding things as URIs for QR codes is the
 special QR code char set that makes for smaller QR Codes for the same URI.
 The URI needs to only use uppercase letters, numbers, and a few special
 chars.  The char set is

 `0–9 A–Z space $ % * + - . / :`
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#Storage

 For Android, that means that the app also has to claim `<data
 android:scheme="BRIDGE" />` so that the URI will be properly directed when
 scanned from any QR scanner.
