why Cap?

• ⚡️ 250x smaller than hCaptcha
  cap's widget library is extremely small, only 12kb minified and brotli'd.
• 🔒️ Private
  cap's usage of proof-of-work eliminates the need for any tracking, fingerprinting or data collection.
• 🌈 Fully customizable
  cap is self-hostable so you can customize both the backend & frontend — or you can just use CSS variables
• 🤖 PoW-based
  cap uses proof-of-work instead of complex puzzles, making it easier for humans and harder for bots
• 🧩 Standalone mode
  cap offers a standalone mode with Docker, allowing you to use it with languages other than JS.
• 💨 Invisible mode
  cap can run invisibly in the background using a simple JS API.
• ☁️ Floating mode
  floating mode keeps your CAPTCHA hidden until it's needed
• 🌳 Fully FOSS
