nForms

One script tag. Zero CAPTCHA. EU-only form backend.

What it does

nForms replaces two tools devs are tired of gluing together: reCAPTCHA and manual ARIA code. Shield: SHA-256 Proof-of-Work runs in the browser (~200ms). Invisible to users, impossible for bots at scale. Zero cookies. Accessible: Add data-validate attributes — nForms injects aria-invalid, focus management, and error messages automatically. WCAG 2.2 AA. All data on Cloudflare EU Workers in Frankfurt. No US transfers. GDPR by architecture. Free tier: 100 submissions/month, unlimited forms.

    Replace CAPTCHAs with WebAuthn passkeys for bot prevention2024 · github.com · ▲71

    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

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
