Show HN: Replace CAPTCHAs with WebAuthn passkeys for bot prevention
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
