It turns out that most spam bots aren’t all that sophisticated, and if you wanted to write something on your page like: Send an email to me at evie[DOT]fae[AT]mydomain[DOT]com then you don’t have much to worry about when it comes to email harvesters. I don’t actually like this solution because it introduces too much friction into the communication process.
Evie shares a user-friendly workflow to obfuscate email addresses in public websites such as the personal blog you’re reading.
I just enabled it. Win-win!
I asked the LLM to write an ADR about the implementation.
