Show HN: Procaptcha – Open-source, privacy preserving and frictionless CAPTCHA (prosopo.io)

8 points by HughParry ↗ HN
We built Procaptcha to make sure there's an actually good alternative to Google's ReCAPTCHA that's not a complete nightmare for the end user.

Crucially we're not just a giant ad network like almost all CAPTCHA providers [1]. Like with other CAPTCHA providers it's simple to set up, you just change a couple of tags [2]. We've got a few different CAPTCHA types at the moment, all running on a distributed network of nodes with no user tracking.

Does it work without JavaScript?

I'm working on a privacy based website and my customers are extremely sensitive to anything that is about tracking.

Cloudflare and ReCaptcha don't work without JS, but I need a solution that works without JS.

Is Procaptcha able to do this?

We don't currently have this functionality, though if there's demand for non JS CAPTCHA products we'll definitely spec it out and build it.

If you want to request features/chat about any special requirements you have for a CAPTCHA, feel free to pop an email to dev@prosopo.io
