The scam app uses the same name and icon - so a coincidence seems rather unlikely.

Well done! I didn't want to promote either the app or the fake listing, but you did find it. As you can see, the App Store listing uses the ClipGrab icon (which isn't on the websit…

Thanks! Its so weird that Apple claims the App Store monopoly is necessary to ensure they can vet apps and protect users - but then they don't even let you report an obvious scam.

> Also, all you formally complained about is a trademark infringement Which is precisely why I asked if there's a better way to report scam apps that I might have missed. But unfor…

The App Store listing is pretty clearly a scam and the app is clearly pretending to be my app when it isn't. It's also not some small obscure app, it is well-known enough that ther…

Do you have real-world experience deploying PoW captchas? I'd love to give them a try but I'm worried my forms will end up getting overwhelmed with spam if I switch away from hCapt…

As someone who as founded companies in Germany, I can understand a lot of the frustration with some parts of the process. It does indeed feel archaic that the notary has to read ev…

This is such a good analogy, thank you!

Thanks for sharing! My current experience is that honeypot fields are often ignored by the bots we're dealing with, but adding hCaptcha is pretty reliable in getting rid of them.

Well, that's why I am asking for practical experience using these tools. Maybe most form spam bots are (still) not advanced enough to complete PoW captchas. Have you tried Altcha o…

Well, that's just not true, is it? Try having any public form and you'll see tons of bot submissions, add a captcha, most of them go away.

Thanks! Would you be able to share a bit more of what you've heard about Altcha?

Hey folks, I'm building an Open Source email newsletter tool and one of the challenges we have is form spam: As soon as a signup form goes live somewhere, bots will try to sign up.…

Nice!

Yes, I try to keep my CI pipelines somewhat platform-agnostic so even though I'm mostly using GitHub, my workflow is typically to first build a Docker image and push it to a regist…

Cool project! From looking at your docs, it appears like using and connecting GitHub is a necessary prerequisite for using Disco. Is that correct? Can disco also deploy an existing…

That's exactly why I submitted it here.
