Despite being listed as an option, the scanner will not scan MaxiCodes. Here is an example one with the encoded text "GrapheneOS":
MaxiCode

Is there any other scanner (preferably something online/supported by Android or Desktop) that can scan this code?

If you mean for testing, this works fine, just enable "Extract canvas data" on Firefox so the image uploads correctly.

The linked scanner seems to be a proprietary one, do you know any app that relies on an open-source library for scanning where this maxicode works?

I tried out this and it actually scanned the QR code in my other issue, however it did not scan the MaxiCode here. Makes since since it's the same ZXing library, but weird that it scanned the QR code.

See here it will only scan if an image is uploaded, not through camera. Since I code in C++ I may as well help out with the ZXing library. This makes it impractical as an option until GrapheneOS supports scanning from images.
