I built Nocaptcha after getting frustrated with traditional CAPTCHAs both as a user and developer. WebAuthn passkeys offered a promising alternative that's both more secure and user-friendly. What makes Nocaptcha different: - Uses WebAuthn standard instead of puzzle-solving - No need for users to remember passwords or solve puzzles - Open source Current limitation: Working with W3C WebAuthn Community Group on true passkey disposal for this use case. Looking for feedback particularly on: 1. Integration experience 2. User experience compared to traditional CAPTCHAs

Small team down here in South New Zealand just launched CodeLink. In short its an IDE (VSCode/JetBrains) plugin that lets you share blocks of code that link directly to the code inside your IDE or repo. We use it all the time and think its pretty nifty tech that lets you understand someone’s code in context very quickly. we’re hoping to keep refining it to make it better and more useful.

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. [1] https://prosopo.io/articles/stop-giving-your-website-data-aw...
