Can I please get feedback on VeilMail

Can I please get some feedback on VeilMail.io

It's a non commercial free tool to hide email address from spammers

VeilMail protects your website email address behind a form captcha to make sure the person viewing it is human and not a bot or web email scraper. It helps prevent getting that annoying spam.

Thanks.

    Think the use case is very good, putting an email somewhere is always a spam nightmare.

    Feedback on the utility UX -> It isn't super clear atm where to click.

    Maybe what you can do it blur a bit of the email, with perhaps an eye icon next to it. Once clicked its verified or not and displayed.

    But that's just first thoughts

    Hi, who is your target market for this? Good job on describing the features, very straightforward.

      I know they say you should not say everybody is a potential user. The target is small websites, developers, blogglers etc. Anyone who wants to make their email address public but at the same time who want to guard against, bots, web crawlers, email scrapers and spammers.

      instead of going to the bother of writing the captcha themselves . They can protect their email address and publish it in Less than 15 seconds. There is no signup per se or login.

      If you publish your email normally using the anchor tag with a mailto attribute, there is no protection and your email address can be scraped and then spammed very quickly.

      Most likely the people who sign up for this will already have been burnt in the past. They are tired of getting spam spam and more spam

      veilmail.io fixes that problem.

        Awesome, you can try to publish it as a plugin on different platforms like Wordpress
