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.

#12In 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.

#14A privacy policy would help me trust you a bit more. Good hack!_
