Stamptcha replaces reCAPTCHA's image grids with a 4-second wax-seal ritual. No cookies, no Google tracking, ~17kb, works on mobile. soon will be open source and self-hostable.
Love the wax-seal concept, way more charming than picking traffic lights. One thing that would help adoption is a drop-in WordPress and Cloudflare Turnstile widget so non-devs can swap it in without touching backend code. Would make rollout a breeze for the indie sites I run.
love the no-cookies angle, the tiny footprint is genuinely impressive. one thing that would seal the deal for me is letting site owners pick a custom seal shape or stamp design, so the branding feels intentional instead of generic. curious to see how that plays when it goes self-hostable too
The wax-seal ritual idea is genuinely charming, such a tactile swap for the usual grid clutter, and the 17kb footprint shows real restraint.
