Generating QR Code Images

This will generate 10 random codes + the admin codes.

npm --prefix server run generateQrCodeImages

Debugging Chrome App

When running the Chrome app, visiting localhost:9222 will open a debugger with dev tools and a preview of the running app. This is useful when the app is running, and you want to inspect the runtime without opening the app's dev tools. Ideally you will do this on-site via the local IP of the machine running the app, e.g. 192.168.0.2:9222.
