Not long ago, I found myself needing a CAPTCHA system for a project. You know, one of those little tests where there's a screen, a keyboard, and a question only a human can really answer. Not the kind with a grid of blurry traffic lights something simpler, quicker, and smarter.
At first, I thought: how hard could it be? Generate some random text, add a funky font, throw in a few lines and noise. But as I went deeper, I realized randomness alone isn't enough. It needs purpose. It needs structure. And above all, it needs to be configurable.
That's when I realized CAPTCHA isn't static. Its a living system a balance between security and user experience. Sometimes it needs to be tougher, sometimes more forgiving. Mobile users versus desktop users each with a different story.
So I decided to build a tool. Not just an image generator, but something adaptive. Programmable. Flexible. A small package that can plug in wherever its needed like a piece of Lego.
I called it NSCaptcha a tiny guardian for digital gates.
Its open-source, and the code is available here:
