Show HN: WalletWallet – create Apple passes from anything(walletwallet.alen.ro)
I got my Apple developer certificate and built a simple app to solve a problem I had. One shop I buy from doesn't have Apple Wallet passes. Since you need signed certificates to build these very simple things, I created a minimal app that signs them. It's available if you need it too. It won't scan cards with AI - you manually enter the barcode, which I think makes it less prone to error.

It does not seem to generate barcode passes, although the option is there. My PassWallet only shows the QR code from a generated .pkpass.

Just a question about privacy. It says works entirely in browser, but if you load the page, and then switch off mobile data and put the details in, it seems impossible to create the pass without a data

This is a good idea, and one I've wanted to build out myself. I think I need source to review before I'm willing to use this one, though.

This is excellent! Wish the Wallet had this ability built in.

I am curios why Apple requires such rigamorale to add such items to Apple Wallet. Google Wallet has this feature builtin.

Pretty useful, just used it to make a "Business Card" that links to my LinkedIn profile.

I have been looking for something like this for so long! All I wanna do is stop carrying this rec center card around. Perfect.

scanning for barcodes is an easy enough pre-AI computer vision algorithm with OpenCV. AI could "write" that for you!

I immediately tried this with my Seattle Orca card, but the barcode is different

Try Pass4Wallet. It has a long list of supported barcode types and it's free, so win-win.

I'm not affiliated, I've just found it to be very flexible over a few years of using it.
