Checkout [changelog](./CHANGELOG.md) for\n\u003e changes and migration pointers. Breaking changes will be frequent\n\u003e through `0.1.x`.\n\n## Why use mCaptcha?\n\n- Free software, privacy focused\n- Seamless UX - No more annoying captchas!\n- IP address independent(sort of) - your users are behind a NAT? We got you covered!\n- Automatic bot throttling\n- Resistant to replay attacks - bye-bye captcha farms!\n\n## Demo\n\n### Demo servers are available at:\n\n- https://demo.mcaptcha.org/\n- https://demo2.mcaptcha.org/ (runs on a Raspberry Pi!)\n\n\u003e Core functionality is working but it's still very much\n\u003e work-in-progress.\n\nFeel free to provide bogus information while signing up(project under\ndevelopment, database frequently wiped).\n\n### Self-hosted:\n\nPlease refer to [mCaptcha/mCaptcha](https://github.com/mCaptcha/mCaptcha) for\ninstructions.\n\n## Documentation\n\n- [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/libmcaptcha)\n- [master-branch](https://mcaptcha.github.io/mCaptcha/libmcaptcha/index.html)\n- [All published versions](https://mcaptcha.org/docs/api/mcaptcha-system)\n\n## Usage\n\nmCaptcha is made up of three components:\n\n#### 1. Front-end library\n\nWe have a WASM library now, Android and iOS libraries soon\n\n#### 2. Back-end library\n\nWe have Rust library, other languages will have support soon\n\n#### 3. Rate limiting service\n\nUnder development.\n\nA paid, managed service will be made available soon but\nI([@realaravinth](https://batsense.net)) encourage you guys to\nself-host.
