Human Checkpoint
Preserving authentic organic posting since the collapse.
The bots got smarter. The CAPTCHAs got humiliating. Human Checkpoint replaces CAPTCHA challenges with hardware-backed proof of humanity using: Apple Touch ID and Face ID on iOS devices and macOS Android devices with fingerprint readers Windows Hello No more surprise fire hydrant examinations.
This initial Reddit implementation is only the first step. My long-term goal is to build a website that allows users to connect any of their online accounts through the standard OAuth flow and issue a certificate for each one.
These certificates could then be shared through a public link or accessed programmatically via an API, allowing platforms and moderation tools to automatically verify a user's identity and trust level.
Finally, someone said it, the fire hydrant stuff was getting embarrassing. Verified through Face ID in like two seconds, and the whole flow felt invisible in a good way.
