Here is what my workflow looks like for a movie ticket.

- Download the QR code of the ticket in an image or PDF format from the 
vendor's website and store it in a Syncthing folder.
- Ensure Syncthing is running on the Android device and the file is 
synced. This can also be done later if you have mobile data, since the 
file would've already been synced to the FreedomBox server.
- Use Gallery or a PDF viewer like muPDF on the Android device to 
display the QR code at the entrance.
