Change all email-adresses to be icons #121

Open Cengelsen opened 1 week ago

I propose we switch out all strings of text that is an email with icons, like in the attached picture. mail-icon

The picture is from my own website and i get no spam at all. (Of course, my website does not have a lot of traffic, but no spam nonetheless)

It won't resolve that our email-adresses are already stored in the email-lists the bots use, but it might mitigate further spamming.

This won't fix the spam-issue, as scrapers look for mailto:<email> and simply text strings that look like emails. And when people look for a way to contact they look for stuff that looks like an email, not everyone is comfortable with clicking an icon that they don't know what does (except those who know they can see that it's a link).

A way to solve the issue might be to change the email-address altogether, but that might be too much idunno 🤷

How about removing the mailto:, and going with pure text plus removing @ and . for [at] and [dot]? It may not be the most user-friendly though..

Example: sid [at] fribyte [dot] no
