Comment on Email obfuscation: What works in 2026?

Comments

It's simple: draw your email in a paint program and export it as a png. Totally readable by humans.

Then I can't copy+paste, so I might make a typo when sending you a message.

...humans with vision in good working order. There's a large subset of humans who would then have no way of contacting you.

Such humans are likely not programmers, which generally fits my use case. If I wish for my blind sister to contact me, I just give her my number.

Even if that were true, it seems strange to me to only want to be contacted by programmers.
