Show HN: Replace CAPTCHAs with WebAuthn passkeys for bot prevention
I built Nocaptcha after getting frustrated with traditional CAPTCHAs both as a user and developer. WebAuthn passkeys offered a promising alternative that's both more secure and user-friendly.<p>What makes Nocaptcha different:
- Uses WebAuthn standard instead of puzzle-solving
- No need for users to remember passwords or solve puzzles
- Open source<p>Current limitation:
Working with W3C WebAuthn Community Group on true passkey disposal for this use case.<p>Looking for feedback particularly on:
1. Integration experience
2. User experience compared to traditional CAPTCHAs

Show HN: I built an HTML5 RTL-SDR application
There are lots of RTL-SDR applications, but you have to install them. I used the HTML5 USB API that exists in Chrome (did you know about it?) to build one that you can run straight from your browser, on your computer or your Android phone.

Show HN: Cut the crap – remove AI bullshit from websites
I’ve spent a lot of time reading articles that promise a lot but never give me what I’m looking for. They’re full of clickbait titles, scary claims, and pointless filler. It’s frustrating, and it’s a waste of my time.<p>So I made a tool. You give it a URL, and it tries to cut through all that noise. It gives you a shorter version of the content without all the nonsense. I built this because I’m tired of falling for the same tricks. I just want the facts, not a bunch of filler.<p>What do you think? I’m also thinking of making a Chrome extension that does something similar—like a reader mode, but one that actually removes the crap that gets in the way of real information. Feedback welcome.

Show HN: Random Caplocks Prank
I was building a program that needed to allow a user to set a hotkey but the program lives in the taskbar so there's no UI. I decided what I would do is enable the caplock key when they click "Set Hotkey" and then they can disable the caplock key (or set it to its initial state, rather) to indicate they have finished.<p>That project is still going but I got sidetracked by the idea that I could just build a program to randomly enable the caplock key every once in a while.<p>This isn't a program designed to calculate child malnutrition or do anything to stop genocide etc but I was able to do it in a few hours and learn some new tricks.<p>I hope this isn't too stupid for HN.

Show HN: Prompt Engine – Auto pick LLMs based on your prompts
Nowadays, a common AI tech stack has hundreds of different prompts running across different LLMs.<p>Three key problems:<p>- Choices, picking from 100s of LLMs the best LLM for that 1 prompt is gonna be challenging, you're probably not picking the most optimized LLM for a prompt you wrote.<p>- Scaling/Upgrading, similar to choices but you want to keep consistency of your output even when models depreciate or configurations change.<p>- Prompt management is scary, if something works, you'll never want to touch it but you should be able to without fear of everything breaking.<p>So we launched Prompt Engine which automatically runs your prompts for you on the best LLM every single time with all the tools like internet access. You can also store prompts for reusability and caching which increases performance on every run.<p>How it works?<p>tldr, we built a really small model that is trained on datasets comparing 100s of LLMs that can automatically pick a model based on your prompt.<p>Here's an article explaining the details: <a href="https://jigsawstack.com/blog/jigsawstack-mixture-of-agents-moa-outperform-any-single-llm-and-reduce-cost-with-prompt-engine" rel="nofollow">https://jigsawstack.com/blog/jigsawstack-mixture-of-agents-m...</a>
