Not strictly a support, but I’d like some way fun/easy way to track attendance at an actual real life meeting. I want to then give people badges for meeting attendance or similar.

I have thought about having a printed QR code up with a short url to something on discourse. Tracking who clicks through that link. Maybe the link could create a post/like on an “inivisible” thread? Does an invisible thread exist? And I assign badges based on posts on that thread?

Needs to protect (lightly) against people who are not at the meeting obtaining the badge.

Any other ideas? I haven’t worked with discourse long enough to figure out something of this sort.
