+
+export function PostCard() {
+  const [showShare, setShowShare] = useState(false);
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      <button onClick={() => setShowShare(true)}>Share</button>
+      <ShareModal
+        isOpen={showShare}
+        onClose={() => setShowShare(false)}
+        shareUrl="https://teachlink.com/post/123"
+        title="Share this post"
+      />
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Standalone QR Code
+```tsx
+import { QRCodeComponent } from '@/components';
+
+export function TopicCard() {
+  return (
+    <QRCodeComponent
+      value="https://teachlink.com/topics/web3"
+      size={256}
+      fgColor="#3b82f6"
+      bgColor="#f0f9ff"
+    />
