Be aware that your robot detection will not work as it is:

* The question (and answer) is always the same * The answer is in the source code for the site * The answer is only checked in the frontend (so robots will never see it at all)

Effective anti spam should be done in the backend, as a spambot would just send HTTP requests directly to your backend.

Possibly intentional since this was on the front page a little while ago https://kevv.net/you-probably-dont-need-recaptcha/

Haha, yeah I read that exact piece.

The Problem: A bunch of friends and you land up at a bar/wine shop and it turns out to be a dry day and then you go - doh! (one friend even went to Goa for a weekend only to realise it was a dry day)

Solution: I decided to build this simple SMS based reminder service which would remind you of all the dry days in the year!

Let me know what you guys think!

What’s a dry day?

I assume it means no alcohol, but worth making it clear on the site.

I assumed here that potential end users in India would know what a dry day is. Maybe I'll revisit this assumption if more feedback like this comes in. Thanks!

This

In India, we get so many spam SMSes that I've learnt to completely ignore that channel.

Must have a privacy policy and tnc.

Looks good though

yeah, agree. But SMS was the quickest to get started - depending on traction - can add other channels as well - Email/Whatsapp/IVR/website notifications.

Yes, privacy policy seems to be universal feedback. Will add that for sure.

Email+Telegram would be best for me. I don't want to give my phone number

A privacy policy would help me trust you a bit more.

Good hack!_

yeah, gotta add a formal privacy policy. It'll look something like: - Will never share your data without your explicit consent

- Don't use any 3rd party trackers (not even GA) so no data shared with them

- Data stored in India (AWS) in a server owned by me

Anything else you think I should cover?

Added a privacy policy (of sorts). Let me know what you think!
