This now makes me wonder: is there a QR generator that maps out a grid of numbers and letters to help you draw it manually on graph paper with paper or pen or marker? That'd be kinda fun to use with this and completely baffle people in the wild by leaving literally E2E-encrypted messages for friends in public areas lolll.

It can be a barier to entry for new / non-technical users. In the past when I've worked with activism groups to setup secure comms Kleopatra has been difficult for people unfamiliar with encryption to figure out. It's always good to lower the barrier to entry for these kinds if applications.
