## What it is
A lightweight JavaScript library that transforms all mailto: and tel: links on a webpage into an accessible modal offering direct actions like opening Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo for emails and WhatsApp, Telegram, or Skype for phone numbers. It also provides less-spam link patterns to hide email addresses from crawlers.

## Use cases
- replace mailto links with a modal offering gmail and outlook
- make tel links open whatsapp or telegram
- hide email addresses from spam crawlers on a website
- add accessible contact link modals to a webpage
- internationalize contact link dialogs

## When to choose
- you want a drop-in script that upgrades all mailto/tel links with no framework lock-in
- you need spam-resistant email links with data attributes
- you want a small, customizable, i18n-ready modal with dark mode

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with security updates
- you need SSR support without a window object
- you need sms link support, which is incomplete

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, internationalization, email
- domain: web-development, frontend, email, privacy
- platform: browser
- tags: mailto, tel-links, modal, spam-prevention, gmail, outlook, whatsapp, telegram, skype, dark-mode, accessibility, wordpress-plugin, gatsby-plugin, nodejs, javascript
