Component(s)

BetterBarcodes is a useful application wherein you can use it when making barcodes for a specific item. Aside from making barcodes for a specific item, this application could also be used in scanning of barcodes. As I was using the said application, I had noticed something in the reading section of the barcode. " The only thing which appeared was the barcode number only ". I guess, it could still be improved so I thought of something which could be a sort of useful and reliable enhancement for the said application.

Proposal

What I mean with the suggestion for the said application would be " the developers of the said application should make the scanning of barcodes more specified or clear. Instead of barcode (numbers) only, the item's complete specification should also be identified. Also, the barcode itself should coincide with the complete specification of the item visually and according to it's recorded identification. "

Say For Example:

ITEM CODE 010406

ITEM CODE 040201

ITEM CODE 020302

In order to make this suggestion possible, the Steemit developers should make some enhancement on their website from which this suggestion will be included and so as to be implemented. To make this suggestion easier to interpret, the author of this contribution post provided the current format as well as his suggested format.
