Jkuester:altcha - Easy Meteor + Altcha Integration

announce
1

In my recent work I had to deal with strict GDPR compliance which eliminated the use of tools like reCaptcha et al.

I found an alternative named Altcha (https://altcha.org) which is a proof of work solution that runs on your own server.

With jkueser:altcha you can now easily integrate it on a Meteor server. It works for any frontend, because on the frontend you actually use the original altcha component and the package is not coupled to a specific version of it.

Further notable mentions:

  • I added enough documentation to get you started right away
  • tests are added, too
  • the project uses biome for linting and formatting

Check it out:

Packosphere - jkuester:altcha - Packosphere

Please leave a star if you like the package so I can soon atempt to include it on the Altcha Website as community integration

Thank you, Jan! Great work! I was looking for something to integrate in our fork of sikka at some point (which reminds me of a brief conversation we had long ago exactly about this), because reCAPTCHA just has to be replaced
