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.

Looking for feedback particularly on: 1. Integration experience 2. User experience compared to traditional CAPTCHAs

We handle captchas natively including Google reCAPTCHA image challenges by traversing cross-origin iframes and shadow DOM. The latency is high on this one currently. The problem: when debugging image selection captchas ("select all images with traffic lights"), logs don't tell you why the agent clicked the wrong tiles. I found myself staring at execution logs thinking "did it even see the grid correctly?" and realized I just wanted to watch it work. So we…
