The Enkoder Form Is Back
10 June 2008 · development, enkoder, software
I’m happy to announce that the Hivelogic Enkoder Form is – at long last – back online.
The Enkoder is a utility that helps protect email addresses by converting them into encrypted JavaScript code, hiding them from email-harvesting robots while revealing them to real people.
And coming soon … the re-release of the Enkoder for Mac OS X.

Wonderful! I've been reluctant to do this otherwise, and few other masking techniques seem to work.

Fantastic! Thx Dan.

Very good news. I had created a local Rails application just to use your Enkoder plug-in while the online form was down, but firing it up every time I needed it was kind of a hassle.
Don't forget to include a donation button when you re-release the OS X client... unless you plan on charging for it this time, maybe?

That's excellent! Time for a new bookmark.

A tip for Rails developers using the Enkoder plugin:
When possible, cache the result of an enkode and reuse it throughout your application (via a database or memcached). It takes quite a hit to calculate the first time, but is cheap to reuse after it's been generated.
I have specific email addresses that I enkode, and I do the setup once in environment.rb, saving the result in a constant.

Wasn't the form back in Jan 2008?

@Wes - Yes it was, with the last hivelogic design, which was 3rd party software. And with the relaunch, and my own system, I had to reintegrate it once again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you -- this is an excellent service you provide. I really missed it when it was gone.
I'll have to download the Mac app to use at home just in case it goes down again.
