A Ruby gem providing unobtrusive spam protection for Rails applications using honeypot techniques. It adds hidden form fields that bots fill in, plus time-sensitive submission checks and IP-based rate validation, without extra steps for real users.
Use cases
- stop spam bots submitting Rails forms
- add honeypot protection to contact forms
- block bot signups without CAPTCHA challenges
- protect comment forms from spambots
- rate-limit form submissions by IP
- replace reCAPTCHA with invisible spam filtering
When to choose
- you run a Rails app and want frictionless spam protection
- you want to avoid annoying users with visible CAPTCHAs
- you need simple, configurable bot detection for forms
When to avoid
- you need protection against sophisticated targeted attacks rather than generic bots
- your app is not built on Rails
