Hey HN!After reading this article about email obfuscation [0] a few weeks ago, I build html-obfuscator. And I'm awfully proud of the result!I know obfuscation is not new (haha)... but I think I found a very nice way to obfuscate content without disrupting the user experience (closed shadow root!).I hope the demo [1] makes it clear enough how it works.I'd love to get a few people to look at...

Do you have a link for me? I'd like to learn them, but find it really hard to find them.

For example, I had never heard about etc/services until 2 minutes ago

For what it's worth: they live up to their own standards. Here, for example, is the source code that powers their VIP platform product:

See my other comment: you can set default styles using

:where(:not(:defined)) { display: block }

Re:You can make up HTML tags on Monday December 29, 2025 @02:52AM (#46418402)
simply only ever use this to replace <span> or <div>

Beware that connectedCallback runs _every time_ a custom element is added to the dom. So you should make sure to only add event listeners once by tracking internally if the element was already initialized.
Re:You can make up HTML tags on Monday December 29, 2025 @12:27AM (#46417756)
This is how you can set default styles for all your custom elements:

    :where(:not(:defined)) {
         display: block;
    }

Because I‘m good in it. And my clients don‘t depend on me - they can choose to continue working with me not because I‘m the only one who knows how the language works, but because they WANT to.
