Checkify - verification layer

What it does

Checkify replaces document sharing with privacy-first verification. "We’re launching in the UK first while we validate the platform before expanding internationally". Instead of collecting passports or personal data, businesses request trusted proofs like “Over 18”, “Verified Human”, or “Verified Student”. One API supports age, identity, student and business verification, digital signing and secure Data Packs.

Online age verification for ecommerce and age-restricted services. Customers prove they’re old enough — your business gets the answer, not unnecessary identity documents.

Your customer proves they’re old enough. You get the answer — not their identity. A clear age check designed to ask for what matters — not a document dump to the merchant. Receive the verification result you need at the point of purchase, access, or account. Plugins, JavaScript SDK, and server APIs — built to fit where age checks actually belong. Put age assurance where the risk is — checkout, gated content, or account — without inventing a custom ID vault. A better verification experience for the person on the other side of the screen. They see what’s being checked before they approve. Your site gets the age result — not their documents. Then they’re back to what they came to do. Your…from checkify.me

  Anonymous Age Verification2025 · gist.github.com · ▲71

  So I'm not an expert in this area, but here's an attempt at cost effective, anonymous, age verification flow that probably covers ~70% of use cases in the United States. The basic premise is to leverage your bank (who already has had to perform KYC on you to open an account) to attest to your age for age-restricted merchant sites (pornhub, gambling, etc) without sharing any more information than necessary. Flow works like this: 1) You go to gambling.com 2) They request you to verify your age 3) You choose "Bank Verification" 4) You trigger a WebAuthn Credential Creation flow 5) gambling.com…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
