Website operators struggle to offer usable CAPTCHA checks
People report that CAPTCHA challenges can be frustrating or difficult to use, especially for people with dyslexia, neurodivergence, or vision issues. Developers also want alternatives that are accessible, work without JavaScript, or avoid usage limits and support retries. Existing options do not meet every need described in these signals.
For website operators and application developers. Mentioned from Mar 2024 to May 2025 on Bluesky, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.
