Thank you for that link. That absolutely makes sense. I'll not complain again :)

I'd really like to understand why posts like this often get flagged on HN. It's not because of flamewar in the comments section, is it? The upvotes/comments ratio looks normal to me. Can someone explain? In any case, thanks to the OP for the link.

Show HN: Replace emails and phone numbers with

rasso — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 12:13:05 +0000

Hey HN!

A few weeks ago I read

https://spencermortensen.com/articles/email-obfuscation/

ans I was so inspired that I built my own:

https://github.com/hirasso/html-obfuscator

The "killer feature" is that it uses a closed shadow root to hide sensitive data in plain sight. Visible to humans, but invisible to crawlers and even headless bots, if they don't interact with the page.

On interaction, the data is revealed to the light DOM.

I'm looking for props, GH stars, critique... anything. I'm genuinely proud of my discovery that closed shadow roots are not readable using JavaScript.

Cheers Rasso

Show HN: My Approach to HTML Obfuscation

rasso — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 19:00:07 +0000

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 this and give me feedback. Negative is ok, maybe I learn something! ;)) And I'm also a sucker for GitHub stars. At least 10 would be amazing...

Cheers, Rasso

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:

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins

It must be open sourced because it's based on WordPress. I still love that.

See my other comment: you can set default styles using

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.

This is how you can set default styles for all your custom elements:

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