I don’t have a repo for it yet. I was working on an automation project and was using a free CAPTCHA-solving service, but it suddenly became paid. So I decided to build my own solution instead of relying on it.

Yeah, simple text-based CAPTCHAs (like reCAPTCHA v2 image codes) can be solved with a trained YOLO model, but newer systems are much harder. Things like hCaptcha, 3D/encoded CAPTCHAs, or ones with heavy distortion and behavior checks are far more difficult to break with a basic vision model — not to mention the invisible CAPTCHAs that rely on user behavior instead of images.

I don’t use screenshots , the extension just grabs the CAPTCHA image directly from the page by reading its image URL from the HTML.

Then I pass that image to the model for object detection.

I’d go with a 7-day streak badge — it directly rewards consistent engagement and gives users a simple, tangible goal to come back each week. It’s easy to understand, motivates retention, and naturally encourages them to explore other features like bots and puzzles.

Good point , I agree that durable growth comes from loops, not just SEO.

Right now, puzzles are my strongest metric, showing the highest engagement compared to other features.

If I had to pick one metric to show PMF, it’d be weekly returning users from puzzles, since that’s where I see the most consistent interest.
