@humptydumpty it’s getting boring but same here!

@humptydumpty @imc67 does this work on any site or is this specific to WordPress? Can I use it for this forum, for example?
-
@girish yes you can, on their homepage halfway you see a code example for any website. For Wordpress there is an easy to use plug-in.

@imc67 Indeed, thanks. It seems there is a 1000 requests/month limit which this forum far exceeds... Let me think about it.
@girish strange, it seems there is something changed on their website. It’s not only looking different but I swear there was something like “use our api or host it on your own server” that’s why I created this app wish. It would be great to host “the API” as an app for your own endpoint. However I don’t see such solution anymore, or maybe I don’t look at the right place?

@imc67 I think what was opensource was only the libraries and not the server component (I could be wrong). But you are right, there used to a note before - https://web.archive.org/web/20201220025130/https://friendlycaptcha.com/ but it only stated "FriendlyCaptcha is open source allowing you to build out this service yourself."

@girish @imc67 Quoting a closed issue on their github...
Hi, after doing a bit of research, I've realized that FriendlyCaptcha isn't entirely open source. Alternatively, do it yourself FriendlyCaptcha is open source allowing you to build out this service yourself. https://friendlycaptcha.com/ Its front-end and algorithms are open source (MIT), the SaaS wrapper around the hosted version is not [yet, I set it as a sponsorship goal], I hope that’s ok. https://codeberg.org/swiso/website/issues/133 I will appreciate if the website makes it clear that some bits are proprietary.Source: https://github.com/FriendlyCaptcha/friendly-challenge/issues/10
I think that means someone could use a different wrapper for their source code and make it work for Cloudron and elsewhere, right?
