https://VeilMail.io (my free side project) is a good way to protect / "veil" your email address on your website from getting scraped and spammed by a bot as it hides your email address behind a form captcha and makes sure it's person reading is a human.

Good idea me thinks.

Now I added the feature that VeilMail generates a QR code for your email too, so people can scan the QR code to unveil your email address. I was thinking this might be a good use case for people on social media.

Is that part of VeilMail a good idea or is it a stinker of an idea?

Oh and you can scan this QR code to see it in action.

    Typically, you use the camera and a QR code app. Works well for printed material, i.e. material outside of the smartphone.

    But when people browse social media with their smartphones, how should the camera get the QR code? Do you expect people to open social media on desktop, then hold their smartphone with the camera to the monitor or what?

    Any qr scanner worth its salt is able to scan QRs from a screenshot.

    @CoreFusionX Doesn't make it that much better. What's the workflow? Make a screenshot of the site you're on, launch the QR app, figure out the email, have the email in the QR app, copy it, then open a mail program or go back into the browser?

    Oh I don't know what the workflow is for this specific app, just mentioning that you can scan from files.
