Continuity-auth – Respect-weighted rate limits for the open web

Hacker News

Identity is a missing piece for managing security in cyberspace where agents co-exist with humans. Traditional methods of managing open-access like captcha or anubis punish real humans while either being rapidly outclassed by computer-use agents or scaling poorly as the value of the site rises. continuity-auth is my attempt to fix this from first principles by using device-continuity proof as a trust signal and time (enforced via rate-limiting) as the core resource to provide a graceful, zero-trust, login-less method to prevent abuse, supporting both browsers and CLI as first-class clients. Built with Clojure/Script, babashka, and Datalevin. Work in progress. Happy to discuss. Source: https://github.com/danieltanfh95/continuity-auth
