Thanks for checking out wehatecaptchas! My goal with this project is to balance simplicity and security. When you click the wehatecaptchas button your browser solves complex math problems in the background which are required to validate the captcha. If a spammer were to automate this process they'd be slowed down by this and it would potentially be expensive. In a lot of ways a traditional captcha might be harder to automate, but there is a thriving business where people are paid to solve those for spammers. wehatecaptchas combats that by requiring your computer to work hard for the answer. It's a quick process but imagine a spammer having to do it over and over. Not to mention - not all people can solve traditional captchas due to a disability, but anybody can click a button and wait. Hope you like it :)

Good work 👍 I loved it 😍 One Question: How is it different than Google reCaptcha v3?

@kumar_abhirup google ReCAPTCHA v3 tracks users across your entire site and I personally find that very invasive. wehatecaptchas stores a minimal amount of data to help aid in determining the captcha difficulty but that’s it.

@kumar_abhirup @daltonedwards ReCAPTCHA v3 can just be added to pages with a form or a checkout - Google wants to be on all the pages but I think this is for user data collection more than bot data collection.

Pros: Nice idea. It can surely block spam bots without any visual hint to the normal user. Cons: Can still not replace captcha. Modern scrapers can use javascript/browser engines. Script should also be improved (bad API design)

@usamaejaz A future update is going to dynamically set the captcha difficulty to help combat automation. I agree it can be automated but it’ll be expensive. How do you believe the API design can be improved?

@daltonedwards for example, you need to set the id which is "static". what if there are multiple forms on page? it should be possible to also specify custom submit message and so on. if i have a custom onSubmit handler and want to integrate this into that, its not possible right now. your code also adds custom pre-set message/html.
